SHALOM! SALAM! 

 A Poem For Peace 

A Song For Singing 

By Lorenzo Cherin

 

 

SHALOM! SALAM! You’re sad, I am

Our cry cannot be heard

SHALOM! SALAM! How sad I am

That peace is just a word

 

SHALOM! SALAM! SHALOM! SALAM!

 

SHALOM! SALAM! You’re sad, I am

The years of pain we’ve had

SHALOM! SALAM! How sad I am

Good things often turn bad

 

SHALOM! SALAM! SHALOM! SALAM!

 

SHALOM! SALAM! Jerusalem

That city’s cry is heard

SHALOM! SALAM! Jerusalem

Tears flow from every word

 

SHALOM! SALAM! SHALOM! SALAM!

 

SHALOM! SALAM! Woman and man

Enough of war, we’ve had

SHALOM! SALAM! Your child I am

Some good can come of bad

 

SHALAM! SALAM! SHALOM! SALAM!

SHALOM! SALAM! SHALOM! SALAM..!
