Shalom Shalom

Here, my friends, I stand before you
Naked, stripped of all pretence
I'm here to say a word or two
in the name of love and innocence
It's been a long time they've been out of style,
but i won't live in illusion,
there's not much chance that things will change on lonely planet earth.

all that is natural, all that is free
like me loving you, and you loving me,
like the sweet fruit growing on a tree,
like the blood-red choral in the sea,
like shaking hands and sharing food,
and a real creative attitude
and a big strong hug,yes, that feels good,
and the miracle of birth

shalom shalom,
shalom shalom shalom,
shalom shalom,
shalom shalom shalom

you really don't need a diploma
from any university
to understand and to enjoy
this plentiful diversity
you only need to free your mind of all those pre-conceptions
and use your mouth for laughing and for asking and to kiss…
communicate, communicate,
don't say: "oh Lord, i've come too late!" you're always welcome at love's gate
to wash your feet of fear and hate
so when you come and when you go,
the words are peace, goodbye, hello,
in a language that I know it goes like this:

shalom shalom,shalom
shalom shalom,
shalom shalom,shalom
shalom shalom…

so if our strategy is love
(don't bite my head off, i said love)
and you say: "duuuh,
so simple!"
yeah, but easy to miss….

so when you come and when you go,
so when you come and when you go,
the words are peace, goodbye, hello,
in a language that I know it goes like this:

shalom shalom,shalom
shalom shalom,
shalom shalom,shalom
shalom shalom…
