8th Day — Avraham lyrics

Lyrics

Sitting in the hot dessert sun, you’ve been told you’d be on the run
Down to egypt to pharaoh’s town, to Rome and Spain and many other lands
But you opened your doors to tired men, to lonely passersby and angels from
heaven
Your kindness and your care were known far and wide, father of a nation your
soul is alive.
Avraham are we the children that you dreamed of?
Are we the shining stars you saw at night?
You know its true, we still call you avinu
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.
You’ve been through every test, now look a small shul in the mid west
A child was born just the other day, and all those gathered there heard his
mother say
Although its been three thousand years, and we’ve been fighting back all the
tears
One man’s lullaby a nation will survive, father of our people your dream is alive.
Avraham are we the children that you dreamed of?
Are we the shining stars you saw at night?
You know its true, we still call you avinu
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.
Your courage and your might, kept the pharaohs up at night
No hand could hold you, no stranger would forget you.
Avraham yes we’re the children that you dreamed of And we’re the shining stars you saw at night
You know its true, it’s why we call you avinu
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.
