When did the first man begin to fear?
The first man was not afraid from the tempting snake
Adam did not shrink from the Angel with the sword
Banishing him out of Garden of Eden
He did not even fear the voice of the Lord
Who chased him out of his perfect world.
Only when Adam's first child was born
The first man felt fear
For the first time
He was really scared and confused
Suddenly ----
Adam realized he had something to lose.
Blood Brothers
If only Cain would not have killed Abel
They would forever remain
The best of brothers
Two perfect friends
Now till the Bible ends.
If only Cain would have said
Forgive me
Down on his knees
He would bury his stone
Replace his fury with grace
The world would be such a different place.
A Stranger in my Land
Don't go with me Ruth,
By myself I'll cross the border
Alone I will go
Let us part now, before it's too late
I must leave, but you can regret.
On the other side a foreign land awaits
There - they'll point their fingers
Call you by names
Wherever you walk
You'll be tarnished by shame
A stranger in my land
I'm worried and scared
it is hard to forget and forgive
On your wall they will write
"Here a Foreign Woman lives".
Do not join me, Ruth
You are a widow
No bride anymore
My people, engulfed by their fears
Are banging their doors
There – Sara banished her rival Hagar
There – they reject those who come from afar
When you walk on the street
You will always be marked
"The Other" – that's what they'll call you
From morning to dark.
Though they call themselves "The Chosen People"
They are suspicious, hostile and hard
Out of fear of the unknown
Go back, Ruth, stay with your own.
Night falls, Ruth
Moabite sky is old
My people are not yours
Nor is my Lord!
Turn around, wife of my son
My beloved daughter in Law,
Stay where your own sun shines
For my home is not yours
Nor yours is mine.
Don’t go with me, Ruth
Don’t go with me, Ruth!
Sara, Sara
I'd like to sneak into the bible
The book of Genesis; chapter twenty-one
Just for second
And soon I'll be gone.
I must tell Sara before it's too late
Don't banish Hagar, the woman you hate.
She and her boy, the two must be saved
Though you are the mistress
And she's but a slave.
So they won't cross the desert
Angry and lost
Hold all your horses
Please, at all costs.
Let Izaak and Ishmael be
Happy brothers, great friends
From now on, till the Bible ends.
Let them play and rejoice
For the rest of their lives
Allow them to grow
With no hatred
No knives.
Sara, Sara
Let Hagar's son be like yours
Don't lock up your doors
And you will spare us
The blood and the wars.
