Another song of freedom, another song for stopping a genocide. Words of prayer for the dead and calls to action for the living. We remember those who have joined the ancestors, we feel them living through us. We keep their lights burning. We keep building the world they have dreamed.

Lyrics:

Oseh shalom bimromav hu ya'aseh      
עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה
Oseh shalom bimromav hu ya'aseh     
עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה
Shalom aleynu v'al kol Yisrael v’Yishmael 	
שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל 
v'al kol yoshvei teyvel, vimru amein            
וְעַל כָּל יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן

We are the dreams of all our dear ancestors
We are the seeds they planted in their best works
We are the meek inheriting the treasure
that was always ours: heaven on earth forever

We won't just watch a genocide, no
We won't just idly stand by, no
We'll show up spirits standing high
and ready for that ancient fight for just and right

We are the ones the prophecies foretold
We are the ones their borders cannot hold
We are the breathing incarnations of those precious souls
from our days of old – we will not fold!

May the One who brings peace in heaven
bring us peace on earth
Peace to our broken people
Peace to the world and we say Amein

Oseh shalom bimromav hu ya'aseh      
עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה
Oseh shalom bimromav hu ya'aseh     
עוֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה
Shalom aleynu v'al kol Yisrael v’Yishmael 	
שָׁלוֹם עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל 
v'al kol yoshvei teyvel, vimru amein            
וְעַל כָּל יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן
