Tekstovi: Seals And Crofts. Egypt, Israel & America.

(lyrics and music by James Seals, 1980)
From the album THE LONGEST ROAD (1980).

Well the people in Israel want peace, and the people in Egypt, they cry peace.
And the people in America, they say please, set these people free.
Israel, I know you, you are brave, you are proud. Your voice is loud but sometimes gentle.
Can the ages recall the days of Abraham?

Now the people in Israel build the Wailing Wall. And the people in Egypt build the pyramids so tall.
And the people in America build the spaceship that would not fall. Now we've seen it all.
River Nile your water gives us life to the desert land.
May your people be like a cool oasis for a tired world on its spiritual journey.


From the spirit of Egypt there's a new song and in the soul of Israel it plays on and.
in the mind of America there's a new dawn. Lead us on and on.

Spoken: America, I love you. Through the darkness, you are light.
Again in friendship, your arms are open, to all people, wrong or right.
Oh America, you're beautiful, you are shining like the sun.
Again in victory, behold the favor ?til the Most Great Peace shall come.
