THE REFUGEES
Al tasur mimenu HEBREW: do not turn away from us Al tasur mimenu
THE MESSENGER
Don’t look away as we’re passing through
Even the dogs find crumbs for food
We are in need as fatherless ones
Suffering hope, desperate for love
THE REFUGEES
Do not turn away
Hatirenu HEBREW: can you see us
Do not turn away
Can you see us?
THE UNCLE You can run, you can hide
Still you won’t escape this famine
You can run, you can hide
In the end you’ll have to join me
THE MESSENGER
I’ve heard of a place where daughters are blessed
Where meaningful work gives way to sweet rest
Where outcasts belong and sons live with grace
the journey goes on until we are safe
THE MESSENGER & THE REFUGEES
Lead us home
Lead us home
Lead us home
Lead us home
THE REFUGEES
Kyrie eleison GREEK: Lord, have mercy
THE UNCLE
Choose whom you will serve
Trust me and beware
Choose whom you will serve
Trust me and despair
THE REFUGEES
We will run, we will hide
In the valley of the shadow
We will run, we will fly
Dust to dust into the heavens
THE MESSENGER
Don’t look away as we’re passing through
Even the dogs find crumbs for food
We are in need as fatherless ones
Suffering hope, desperate for love
THE MESSENGER & THE REFUGEES
Lead us home
Hashivenu HEBREW: return us where we belong
Lead us home
Lead us home?
