We Are Strong©
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

What we believe
We will become
What we search for we will find
What seemed so far, already ours
A land that’s yours and mine

Chorus

We’ll keep holding on
We Are Strong
Israel
We know that peace will come
And we’ll be one
Israel
One heart, one voice, one song
We Are Strong
Anachnu Chazakim, Anachnu Chazakim,
Anachnu Chazakim, Israel, Israel

The page has turned
What have we learned
As the years go quickly by
We’ve moved ahead
But looking back
Do we remember why

Chorus

We’ll keep holding on
We Are Strong
Israel
We know that peace will come
And we’ll be one
Israel
One heart, one voice, one song
We Are Strong
Anachnu Chazakim, Anachnu Chazakim,
Anachnu Chazakim, Israel, Israel

One people - One heartbeat
We Are Strong
Time for me, time for you, time for us
One reason - One vision
We Are Strong
From the olive trees to the Galilee
From the desert to the sea
Israel
We hope and dream
Of lasting harmony


Think Peace©
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

Don’t think about who did what to who
Why or if someone told them to
Don’t think about what your gonna say
Doesn’t matter why they acted out that way
Don’t think about whether it’s right or wrong
It all comes down to what side you’re on
How your gonna tell your friends to stay
When all you want to do is run away
We can’t fall down
As long as we’re holding each other up
Against the tide
Side by side
Whatever we dream
We’ll do

Chorus

Think Peace live it, give it
Think Peace, breathe it, be it
Everybody one together
Think Peace - la la la la
Think Peace, take it, make it
Think Peace, see it, free it
We can make it last forever
Think Peace and peace will come

Don’t think about revenge on your enemy
Live for today not in history
Where roots are planted, there grows the tree
We’re exactly where we need to be
Don’t think about how your brother prays
We all find the truth in our own ways
We’re all waking up to the morning sun
We’re all connected, everyone
We can’t fall down
As long as we’re holding each other up
Against the tide
Side by side
Whatever we dream
We’ll do

Chorus

Think Peace live it, give it
Think Peace, breathe it, be it
Everybody one together
Think Peace - la la la la
Think Peace, take it, make it
Think Peace, see it, free it
We can make it last forever
Think Peace and peace will come

Don’t think about walls made to divide
Built high enough for a man to hide
We’ve thought too long about who will win
There are no winners in the game we’re in
So put down the weapons of hate and greed
Stand up and be counted, take the lead
Think about the future of the Middle East
And when you think about it, Think Peace



See Our Voice©
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI) / Shlomo Gronich

You’ve given me my life
To love with like the morning loves the sun
You’ve taken me to heights
And I know I’ve only just begun
Watch me fly I’ll kiss the sky
You can try If we all do same
There’s nothing we can’t change

Together we will find
Joy as deep as pain we leave behind
Together love is blind
Seeing with our heart and not our mind
Watch me fly I’ll kiss the sky
You can try See our voices sing
A song that peace will bring

Chorus

Hear the tiny steps we take as we go
With a message in our hearts,
A chant from long ago See our voices,
Speak the truth, all we know
See Our Voice
A song of peace, we echo
Hello, shalom, Bon jour, salaam
Hello, shalom
Ola, welcome home

Whatever we can dream
Becomes the truth we rise with like the tide
Whatever we believe
Follows us through life,
Becomes our guide
Watch me fly I’ll kiss the sky
You can try If we all do the same
There’s nothing we can’t change

Chorus

Hear the tiny steps we take as we go
With a message in our hearts,
A chant from long ago See our voices,
Speak the truth, all we know
See Our Voice
A song of peace, we echo
Hello, shalom, Bon jour, salaam
Hello, shalom
Ola, welcome home



Where Will We Be©
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

I used to think about today
Like tomorrow would never come
Since yesterday’s already been
I can’t undo what I have done
Sometimes the best intentions
Lead to the worst of plans
And the hopes and dreams I thought I had
Seem to slip right through my hands

Chorus

Where I go and where I’ve been
Is not about me It’s the power of we
We can make a difference
If we stand up and believe
We can change direction
If we don’t, where will it lead?
Where Will We Be?
Where Will We Be?
If tomorrow was behind us
And peace could never find us
Where Will We Be?
Where Will We Be?
If tomorrow was a mirror of you and me-
Where Will We Be?

You gotta look inside your heart
‘Cause all this pain and suffering
Is just tearing us apart
Were all in this together
Each and every one
We’ve made this world what it is today
How will we leave it when we’re done?

Chorus

Where I go and where I’ve been
Is not about me It’s the power of we
We can make a difference
If we stand up and believe
We can change direction
If we don’t, where will it lead?
Where Will We Be?
Where Will We Be?
If tomorrow was behind us
And peace could never find us
Where Will We Be?
Where Will We Be?
If tomorrow was a mirror of you and me-
Where Will We Be?

Without a home that we could call our own
Where Will We Be?
With only war to guide us
Where Will We Be?
On battlefields or fighting deep inside us?
Where Will We Be?
I wish I could see
Where Will We Be?
Where Will We Be?



Basha Na
English Lyrics: Robin Dermer (BMI)
Hebrew Words: Ehud Manor
Music: Nurit Hirsh

Basha Na Haba Ah
I’m watching and I’m waiting
For the world to wake up and believe
I see a day, not so far
When everyone is happy
Truth and love will be all that we know

Chorus

Od tir’eh od tir’eh kama tov yihiyeh
Bashana haba’ah haba’ah
You will see, you will see
Just how good it will be
You will see, you will see, you will see

Basha Na Haba Ah
I feel the day is coming
When our Joy is the air that we breathe
We’ll all be, strong and free
Like little children playing
Without fear or a thought of yesterday

Chorus

Od tir’eh od tir’eh kama tov yihiyeh
Bashana haba’ah haba’ah
You will see, you will see
Just how good it will be
You will see, you will see, you will see

Basha Na Haba Ah
Next year we’ll be together
Peace will come like the rising morning sun
Basha Na Haba Ah
We’ll be each others treasure
And the love that we share will be one



Child Inside©
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

We walked past the years
Captured tears
As the moments flew so quickly passing by
Where you’ve been going
I’ve been by your side
Masqueraded fears
Silent cheers
Shadows left behind
On roads we’ve traveled down
I’m your reflection
Voice without a sound

Chorus

I’m the sweet surrender
As you close your eyes to sleep
The innocence of love
Your blind belief
I’m the restless dreamer
Swimming oceans wide and deep
The hand that holds the time you keep
I’m the child inside - Remember me

In every hope and prayer
I am there
I’m the heartbeat and the music of your soul
I’ll keep you singing
A song that won’t grow old
Like wings made to soar
Love and awe
Balance gently on the motion of the wind
I am your echo
To see me look within

Chorus

I’m the sweet surrender
As you close your eyes to sleep
The innocence of love
Your blind belief
I’m the restless dreamer
Swimming oceans wide and deep
The hand that holds the time you keep
I’m the child inside - Remember me



Hatikvah©
English Lyrics: Robin Dermer (BMI)
Hebrew Words: Naphtali Hertz Imber
Music: Lawrence Dermer (BMI)
Melody: Samuel Cohen

Kol ode balevav p’nimah
Nefesh yehudi homiyah
Ulfa’atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l’tzion tzofiah
Ode lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat’shnot alpayim
l’hiyot am chofshi b’artzenu
Eretz tzion v’Yerushalayim

Our hope is not lost, it’s alive-
A breath in those of us who dream of a world-
A future surrounded by peace
and strengthened by love
Each of us-
Everyone of us Is this entire world
To help each other is to heal our world,
When we hurt each other
It’s like we’re hurting ourselves

I hope one day we understand
That the world is just a reflection,
A mirror of what’s going on within us
Every one of us is valuable,
One of us without the other – worthless
When we are at war with ourselves,
The world is at war
When we achieve peace
The world will be at peace

brothers live together in harmony.”
