Verse 1 Met him on the corner, suitcase in his hand Dreaming of a place, of a promised land Said “I’ve been wandering, I’ve been overseas But my soul keeps calling me back across the seas” He said “I tried the world, but it don’t feel right Like my heart’s been waiting for a different light Got the Hebrew in my spirit, got Zion in my soul Now I’m heading home to where I feel whole” --- Chorus Back to Israel, I’m going back home Where the olive trees grow and the prophets roam Back to Israel, no more wandering alone I’m returning to the place that I call my own --- Verse 2 From Brooklyn streets to the streets of Tel Aviv Every step I take, I start to believe That the land of milk and honey isn’t just a dream It’s the sound of prayer in the Jerusalem scene Got a backpack packed with memories and prayer Sunrise over Galilee, fresh desert air Every mile I traveled led me to this day Now I hear the shofar calling me to stay --- Chorus Back to Israel, I’m going back home Where the olive trees grow and the prophets roam Back to Israel, no more wandering alone I’m returning to the place that I call my own --- Bridge (spoken style, Arrested Development feel) Yeah… you know sometimes you search the whole world Just to realize the map was pointing you home the whole time And home… is not just a place It’s a calling --- Final Chorus (lifted / more energetic) Back to Israel, I’m going back home Mountains and valleys, the ancient stone Back to Israel, where my roots have grown I’m finally returning to the place I know
