Yihiyeh Tov - Things Will Be Better

---------------------------------------

I stand looking out the window
And the picture makes me sad
Will the springtime as it passes
Take with it the hope we had?

For the prophet becomes the clown now
And the clown becomes the king
We have lost most everything yeah
But this dream to which we cling....

Things will get better
They'll get better, yeah
If we hold together now
Though the night be dark
There's a saving spark
If our hearts will show us how

I watch our children put on wings
And fly off to the killing field
Though their dreams will not see daylight
With the guns they bravely wield
All the pain and fear and hatred
Slowly steal our very breath
While between acts of atrocity
We breathe a moment's peace from death

Things will get better...

In the coming summer sky
As the fire of bullets rain
Spins a gleaming streak of silver
Maybe another hijacked plane
A government of generals
Divides our troubled land
This for them and that for us
To the left and the right hand

Things will be better...

May we one day live together
Underneath the olive tree
Leave a land unto our children
Without the bombs and boundaries
May these graves seed the future
In a sweeter soil of peace
Let these bitter years of struggle
Finally one day cease

Things will get better
They'll get better, yeah
If we hold together now
Though the night be dark
There's a saving spark
If our hearts will show us how

It's a generic translation. David writes and rewrites the last couple of verses depending on the events of the time. So it's not that it's _WRONG_, israelispanish, but that the lyrics I grabbed may have been for a different version. ;)

This is such a beautiful song with such beautiful lyrics and hope for a peaceful solution for the future, yiheye tov!!!!

[Hammstah]

We've been singing this song, here in Chicago, since it came out. Really, this is an anthem for peace, and it holds a significant space in Israeli pop culture.

I remember that evening well! What a thrill to play guitar on the same stage as David Broza ( much quieter on the far side with the curly hair!)

Y'hyeh Tov may it come to be

[amirperlmutter]

[terabrat]

@MaguiOz I remember that day. One of our hamsters died and we were joking that it heard that Sa'adat was coming and died of a heart attack.

[avrilXD]

the chorus;

it will be good, it will be good, yes

somtimes i'm broken ..
