Bus to Tel Aviv

Hey brother, this bus takes us home
all it takes is crossing this bridge of stone

This breeze’s stroking my face much like her tresses
she was my classmate and now my daughter’s mother
I didn’t look into her eyes when I said so long and God bless
but I promised a better home that no storms could wither.
And for them, it’s all gonna change forever tonight
I’m going back home after a long wait
I have bags full of caring heart
taking ’em home never to depart.
Hey, young man in the next seat
Do you have a mother or sister
waiting for you to greet?
Well, this bus takes us home
all it takes is crossing this bridge of stone.

You have that look on your face
maybe your heart’s pounding hard
your shirt is wet with sweat
something’s beneath, you’re trying to guard!
This journey goes on, if we desire
or together we walk the lake of fire.
Back at home, they’ll hold us
breathing in their arms or eaten by locust.
Yes, this bus takes us home
all it takes is crossing this bridge of stone.

You chose to be here
I’m here by sheer chance
together we’re destined to journey
across this promised expanse.
We passed through these gates
and shared these empty seats
as darkness surrounds, we look at each other
this ticket in our hands
can end it here or move us further
as this bus takes us home
all it takes is crossing this bridge of stone.

On my way to Tel Aviv
in tomorrow I still believe
someday, this world we’d leave
meanwhile, there are dreams to weave.
As sun goes down on this Friday
home awaits us in candle’s ray
there is peace and rest on the other side
in each others' blood we do abide
and take this ride into the even tide.
Hey brother, this bus takes us home
all it takes is crossing this bridge of stone.
