Under the olive tree

Open wounds where hearts once beat
Wandering through a no man's land
Oh we blossom and we fade but never die
We never die

Should we stand the desert heat
And keep the name we can't forget

But in the distance I heard a sound
Childrens' voices singing loud they sang
Under the Olive Tree we'll stand
Under the branches of life we'll live

Should I taste the bitter fruit
To find my days are counted one by one
But the gift from heaven was in my hand
In my hand

Down below we fall to the ground
As prey for the deep where love can't be found

But in the wind I heard them singing
Voices high their hearts were riging
Under the Olive Tree we'll stand
Under the branches of life we'll live
Under the Olive Tree forever
Take the road, the walk to freedom
Under the Olive Tree we'll sing
Under the branches of life we'll live

We move we breath
We laugh, we cry
But all we know is under a shadow

Down below we fall to the ground
As prey for the deep where love can't be found

But in the distance I heard a sound
Childrens' voices singing loud they sang
Under the Olive Tree we'll stand
Under the branches of life we'll live
Under the Olive Tree forever
Take the road, the walk to freedom
Under the Olive Tree we'll sing
Under the branches of life we'll live
