Goodbye my Jerusalem

Goodbye my Jerusalem,

Goodbye my Jerusalem,
the center of the world.
The sights the sounds the smells the tastes,
All that you've unfurled.

A place with heartbreak in each heart.
The troubles they abound.
"don't go here, watch your way there,
but oh, the jewels I've found.

In the heart of Noa,
and her neighbor too,
They follow God with all their heart,
in all the things they do.

In the heart of Jochen,
and his Marielle,
he tries with everything he has,
to bind the wounds that swell.

He meets with these, he meets with those,
on both sides of the wall.
He hopes for just a bit of peace,
no matter if it's small.

Goodbye my Jerusalem,
if only you could see,
Your God has sent his only Son,
sent him for you and me.

Goodbye my Jerusalem,
Goodbye my dear friend,
I will be praying peace for you,
until the very end.
