8th Day (Jewish Band) - Avraham

^EmSitting in the hot ^Amdesert sun, you were t^Cold, you'd be on the ^Grun. Down to ^CEgypt, to Pharaoh's t^Amown, to Rome and S^Empain, and many other l^Gands. Am Em* C D C G But you opened your door to tired men, and lonely passers-by, and angels from heaven. Your ^Ckindness and your care were known ^Amfar and wide. ^EmFather of a nation, your soul is a^Glive.

^AmAvraham, are we the children that you dr^Emeamed of? ^CAre we that shining star you ^Emsaw at night? ^AmYou know it's true, we still call you ^EmAvinu ^COur father our pride, we got your s^Goul inside, take us ^Dhome, take us ^Ghome.

^EmYou've been through every t^Amest, now look, a smal^Cl shul in the mi^Gdwest. A c^Child was born, just the other^Am day; and all those ^Emgathered there, heard his mother ^Gsay: Am Em* C D C G Oh, it's been 3000 years, and we've been fighting back all the tears. O^Cne mans lullaby, a na^Amtion will survive. F^Emather of our people, your dream is al^Give.

Your c^Gourage and your might kept the Pha^Amraohs up at night. C D Am (C) No hand could hold you, no stranger would forget you. x2
