I'm in a bit of a dilemma these past few days. On one side, I constantly hear of awful things happening that are sort of huge warning signs of worse things to come. I'm talking about the grads falling in Eilat and yesterday's ambush with the Lebanese Army in the north. Not to mention waking up in the morning to read that Iran has officially acquired s-300 missiles against planes and rockets. On the other side what does it help to worry? I know it doesn't help at all but going about my careless summer as usual while everything here is still normal (for now) just feels weird. Erez Lev Ari is an artist whom I've heard a lot on the radio, but I don't know exactly who he is. Just that he's very close to god and that he manages to write songs that many Israelis can relate to sort of playing the act of the spiritual narrator. Anyways the chorus to this song pretty much sums it all up and it's good to remember that there's a new day at the end of the night.
If I were to forgive I’d be happy
If I were to run away I’d be “settled”
If I were breakable I’d be able to
If I were captivated I’d be dangerous
If I were shouting I’d stay
If I were quiet I’d fall asleep
If I were…
At the end of the day, it’s only me
And it’s only you and the kids and god,
And all the rest is nonsense
What was is what was so turn off the lights
And let’s go to sleep there's a new day at the end of the night
If I were to forgive I’d be happy
If I were to run away I’d be “settled”
If I were breakable I’d be able to
If I were captivated I’d be dangerous
If I were to know I’d talk
If I were me I’d be someone else
(Mother what will be with me…)
At the end of the day…
