Eastward  

  My heart is in the east  

With my arms wrapped around those who mourn  

Those who hope  

Those who despair  

My heart is in the east  

In a land I’ve never seen but know deep in my soul  

Where promises were broken  

and the “Never Again” became again right now  

My heart is in the east  

with those I know and all the others I don’t  

We are connected by blood  

We are connected by history  

We are connected by the land   

By Abraham, Isaac and Jacob  

By Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah   

My heart is in the east, broken into a million pieces
