So there you stand in the presence of your family
holding back the floodgates of your heart
but now it seems impossible
to withhold so many years
of solace, separation and longing
for those you were not near

And you weep for your beloved Benjamin
and you weep among those you call friends
and you weep among those you call family
and it does not bother you

Is there any better plot?
Is there any better plan?
Is there any who could imagine . . .
that you would one day inherit this land?

And you weep for all of your brothers
and you weep among those you call friends
and you weep among those you call family
and it does not bother you

So go and prepare your chariot
go and meet your father Israel
go and fall down before him . . .
giving glory to the great I Am

And you weep in the presence of your father
and you weep among those you call friends
and you weep among those you call family
and it does not bother you
