about
Yair Rosenblum (lyrics and music), Amnon Seelig (vocal arrangement), David Hason (arrangement and production)
If we needed no more guns,
we would sing: Hallelujah!
If peace were to come,
you would hear the whole army singing: Hallelujah!
If children could play along the border,
their mothers would sing: Hallelujah!
If the north were to become the center,
in Damascus we would sing: Hallelujah!
If laundry hung on the fence
and if it sang “Hallelujah!” in duet with the wire,
then Mount Hermon would say to the Sea of Galilee:
We can love again! Hallelujah!
If we needed no more guns,
we would sing: Hallelujah!
If peace were to come,
you would hear the whole army singing: Hallelujah!
