The guard of the walls
Lyrics: Dan Almagor



Music: Benny Langry
I am standing on the wall
Standing in the rain alone and all the Old City
Is placed before me on my hand and I look at it and am in love
I come up here always just to look
But now I am here on a job
But now I am here on a job
Yes, yes, who would have dreamt back in the classroom
When we learnt to recite On Your Walls Jerusalem
I Placed Guards
That the day would come that I would be one of them
That the day would come that I would be one of them
That the day would come that I would be one of them
I am standing on the wall
Standing and listening to the voices
Voices of the market and the crowds
Calls of peddlers and carts
And here is the voice of the muezzin
Here is the ring of the bells however I must listen
If there is no explosion of a grenade
If there is no explosion of a grenade
Yes, yes, who would have dreamt….
I am standing on the wall
Shivering from cold and looking and the sun has already set
Guarding from night to night in the light of the full moon
Shining on the walls and gates when will the day come
That we won’t need any more guards
We won’t need any more guards
Yes, yes, who would have dreamt…
