Where am I from?
I am from this land,
the place where my ancestors were born to
but still I’m just a small part of the great mosaic.
The mosaic that gathers us all together:
from the lands of Ethiopia to Morocco, from Persia to China, from Russia to Argentina
we are all a small part of something big
the great mosaic
We are, we are the oldest nation on earth
the nation that survived the greatest tragedies
and fought the greatest armies
I’m proud to be part of this generation in this land,
The generation that understands the meaning of the mosaic.
King David, Hannah Szenes, and I
we are all part of this mosaic
our enemies wouldn’t understand; for them one person doesn’t matter
they would say “you can erase one dot and it wouldn’t matter”
but for me, for my people
every dot and dot matters
from King David, Hannah Szenes and even you.
I’m proud to be part of the nation of Zion
the land full of nature and beauty, the land of the people of Israel, my own painful land
I’m glad to be a tiny dot in this great mosaic.
