Moon light
Stars bright
Illuminating the land, where I stand, dirt in my hand I'm
here I ask myself, what distinguishes you on my left from you on my right?
How our plight as "a Jew" we hold tight
Revelations take hold of this night
I'm here
Strings cascade from above
Attaching our love
An intricate interwoven dove
Of releasing pain
I'm here
Sound waves echo in the vastness of the desert's beauty
Playing tribute to the words that move through me as I listen I'm here
Brought
together, linked together, morphed together
Sharing different stories as they
become one
