The First Time Ever I Fell In Love

The first time ever I fell in love It was with a people The people were my people Living in a country that was my home I'd never known who I was Why I was, where I was from I thought I was a head with a body I never knew I had a soul That day, the plane was about to land When this people, this incedible people Burst out in song -- 'Hatikvah,' The Hope! The Hope of my people for 2,000 years Jerusalem, the Temple, the Weeping Wall Yes, a wall that weeps for her people A people that weeps for her Holy Wall Remnant of past glory, beacon of our future The first time ever I fell in Love It was with a People My Jewish People, One Nation, One Heart Living in a Holy Land from the very start ____________________________________ Note: Employing poetic license, I have called Jerusalem's 'Wailing Wall' the 'Weeping Wall.' It is an actual remnant of the Holy Temple first rebuilt by King Solomon and then rebuilt upon Israel's return from the Babylonian exile about 2,500 years ago.
