Israeli and Palestinian youth singing about a shared subject close to all of their hearts: home. “Home” is a video about the realities of growing up in Jerusalem as Israeli and Palestinian youth and how the YMCA Jerusalem Youth Chorus is able to create a home for all despite the divisions that surround it. We hope that the community of equality, empathy, inclusiveness, and love that we share in this video can be an inspiration to create a Jerusalem that can uphold these values for all. LYRICS: Opening Improvisation: Arabic: This home is our fathers home...and welcome, our beloved ones, welcome to it. Hebrew: Because in my home, in the garden...mine, yours...we together will have a unique bond. English: Hold on to me as we go As we roll down this unfamiliar road And though this wave is stringing us along Know youre not alone Cause Im gonna make this place your home. Settle down, itll all be clear Dont pay no mind to the demons, they fill you with fear Trouble it might drag you down If you get lost you can always be found Know youre not alone Cause Im gonna make this place your home. Arabic: Safety, go in safety. Hebrew: Our home is here, and you and I will yet change the world. Together - we are here together.
