Eretz Yisrael - Taylor Medoff

I carry your heart
Wherever I go
Though I always long
To see you again
I miss your gleaming white capital
Capped with that brilliant bronze dome
I miss the scents that remind me of you:
Your perfume of rosemary and baking challah
I long to hear the call of the imam
And the wail of the siren
On the day of remembrance
I miss the heat of your beautiful deserts of the south
And the majesty of your immense green mountains of the north
If I ever forget you
Eretz Yisrael of old
Let my hands be rendered useless
And my tongue fall limp in my mouth
I will carry your heart
Wherever I go
Though I always long
To see you again!
