Leha'amin was the song representing Israel at the 2004 Contest, written and performed by David D'or.
As Israel did not place high enough in the 2003 Contest and was not a member of the Big Four countries, they had to compete in the first ever semi-final. The song was performed 5th, following Latvia and preceding debuting country Andorra.
The song just missed out on qualification, placing 11th with just 57 points.

Leha'amin
To have a dream
To have a dream that maybe one day
We can find the way
To have a dream
To have a dream that people help each other
On a cloudy day
To have a dream of you and me
Living together, feeling free
To have a dream of love
To have a dream
To have a dream
Leha'amin
Leha'amin bechol hatov sheba'olam haze
I do believe
I do believe that maybe one day
We can find the way
I do believe that love will rise
And shine again before our eyes
I still believe in life
Leha'amin
Leha'amin
Leha'amin
Leha'amin
Leha'amin[1]
Lalalala... lalala lala...
Lalala lala... lalala la...
To believe
To believe in all the good that exists in this world
To believe
To believe that there's still a chance for this world
To believe in love
That we haven't lost our hope
To believe
To believe
To believe in all the good that exists in this world
To believe
To believe
To believe
To believe
To believe
