A note about the YMCA Jerusalem Youth Chorus' message:
“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 father's 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 you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home.

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't 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 you're not alone
'Cause I'm 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."
