Lyrics

Close ev ’ry door to me, hide all the world from me, bar all the win dows and shut out the light.

Do what you want with me, hate me and laugh at me, dark en my day time and tor ture my night.

If life were im por tant I would ask will I live or die, but I know the an swers lie far from this world.

Close ev ’ry door to me, keep those I love from me, chil dren of Is rael are nev er a lone.

For I know I shall find

my own peace of mind,

for I have been prom ised a land of my own.
