There That You Are

It is there that you are O' Israel,

O' mighty Israel,

in the center of it all -

the center of the world -

the center of every nation.

You are so beautiful O' Israel.

You do not need me to,

and yet I weep for you.

I weep because you are,

the center of it all -

all the attention.

Your beauty holds no bounds.

Yet, people want,

your destruction.

They call you an aggressor.

They call you a bully.

They see of you,

only what they want to see.

You are so small,

and yet so mighty.

You are the center,

of your neighboring enemies.

It is because,

you defend yourself valiantly,

that people despise you.

Yet, if you were to be weak,

you would fall captive,

to your adversaries.

God forbid that happened,

would others simpathize with you,

the way they ignorantly sympathize,

with your enemies,

or would they say,

'She deserves it'?

No, you are not,

a perfect nation.

Still, you are a great,

and blessed nation,

nonetheless.

O' Israel -

mighty Israel,

remain steadfast,

in the Lord our God.
