Hey, olam, yesh harbe chadashot
Ani ro’a harbe regashot
Zo haderech le’oto makom
Lesheket veshalom

Kol yom niftachim she’arim
Kol yom nichtavim od shirim
Az mikol bait, kol bnei ha’adam
Bo’u nashmi’a et koleinu la’olam

Hey – ani ro’a havana
Hey – ani ro’a od tikva
Hey – hachoshech ne’elam
Or gadol otef le’at et ha’olam

Hey – ani ro’a havana
Hey – ani ro’a od tikva
Hey – hachoshech ne’elam
Or gadol otef le’at et ha’olam

Ani otseret li rega batsad
Medamyenet mi yavo latet li yad
Uvin rega, hama’agal nisgar
Koftsim le’olam hamachar

Habsora nimtset bechol makom
Hi ktuva bechol kitvei hechazon
Zo haderech – haderech leshalom
Ad shene’ached et kol halevavot

Hey – ani ro’a havana
Hey – ani ro’a od tikva
Hey – hachoshech ne’elam
Or gadol otef le’at et ha’olam

Hey – ani ro’a havana
Hey – ani ro’a od tikva
Hey – hachoshech ne’elam
Or gadol otef le’at et ha’olam

Yesh li chalom
She’ulai yavo hayom
Bo yir’u kulam
Ech or gadol otef le’at et ha’olam

Hey – ani ro’a havana
Hey – ani ro’a od tikva
Hey – hachoshech ne’elam
Or gadol otef le’at et ha’olam

Hey – ani ro’a havana
Hey – ani ro’a od tikva
Hey – hachoshech ne’elam
Or gadol otef et ha’olam

Otef et ha’olam
Otef et ha’olam… hey

Hey, world, there is a lot of news
I see a lot of feelings
It’s the way to the same place
To calm and peace

Every day gates are opened
Every day more songs are written
So from every house, all of mankind
Let’s sound our voices to the world

Hey – I see understanding
Hey – I see more hope
Hey – the darkness disappears
A great light is slowly covering the world

Hey – I see understanding
Hey – I see more hope
Hey – the darkness disappears
A great light is slowly covering the world

I stop for a moment on the side
Imagining who will come to give me a hand
And in a second, the circle closes
Jumping to the world of tomorrow

The annunciation is everywhere
It’s written in all the prophetic scriptures
That’s the way – the way to peace
Until we unite all hearts

Hey – I see understanding
Hey – I see more hope
Hey – the darkness disappears
A great light is slowly covering the world

Hey – I see understanding
Hey – I see more hope
Hey – the darkness disappears
A great light is slowly covering the world

I have a dream
That maybe the day will come
When everyone will see
How a great light is slowly covering the world

Hey – I see understanding
Hey – I see more hope
Hey – the darkness disappears
A great light is slowly covering the world

Hey – I see understanding
Hey – I see more hope
Hey – the darkness disappears
A great light is covering the world

Covering the world
Covering the world… hey
