HaTikva for Noam

[INTRO — spoken/filtered, over a pulsing kick] The hope… our hope… only hope… Heads held high—hearts alive — We rise. Together. [BUILD 1] We move forward, but we don’t forget. Every name, every song, every face no regret. Those that came before us shoulders hold us high Links through time to pull us further towards the sky From the stones of the past to modern skyline glow Example to the world of how is what we show We dance to live, never to forget— But to live so loud the world can’t help but feel it back [PRE-CHORUS — tension rising] Chosen for the work, not for the crown Chosen to get up when we get knocked down Not “better than”—just built to endure Turning pain into rhythm, making love the cure [DROP / CHORUS — big chant, super simple + viral] HaTikva! HaTikva! (Hey!) The hope is real— all are welcome here (Hey!) HaTikva! HaTikva! (Hey!) We rise up—no fear when purpose is clear (Hey!) The hope, the hope, the hope— we keep going we are strong The hope, the hope, the hope —Milk and honey, flowing now forever our song. blooming without fail, the fabled desert rose Millenia fulfilled to see how it grows [VERSE 2 — driving, more melodic] We dance for the ones who couldn’t stay We dance for tomorrow as we are shaping today We’re not made of stone, we’re made of iron strong A million lions roaring “we live on” Inseparable our faith and our home Freedom rings so no one is alone Different cultures, different sounds But one human heart when the bass comes down [PRE-CHORUS 2 — faster, chanty] We rise first—to love first We rise first—to heal first We rise first—to build again We rise first—so freedom wins [DROP / CHORUS 2 — even bigger, add Hebrew phrase] HaTikva! HaTikva! (Hey!) The hope is real—come feel it (Hey!) HaTikva! HaTikva! (Hey!) We rise up—no fear in it (Hey!) Od lo avda teak vah tay new (the hope lives on) Say it loud, sing it strong The hope, our hope, only hope— thousands of years we still live on Hashem keeping watch — our fear is gone [BREAKDOWN — emotional, half-time, airy pads] Let yourself feel the good and the pain- the tree of life our refrain The pillar of fire still lights our way Quiet now… hear the hush… feel the future look past … Then the kick comes back like thunder— Right now. To last! [FINAL DROP — festival mode, repeatable chant] HaTikva! HaTikva! (Hey!) The hope is real—come feel it (Hey!) HaTikva! HaTikva! (Hey!) We rise up—no fear in it (Hey!) Milk and honey, desert rose Blossom like a promise—watch it grow The hope, our hope, only hope— we keep the dream alive One more time—every voice—keep it big and live [OUTRO — chant fading] The hope… the hope… the hope… We rise.
