[Verse 1]
Em C#m little orphans in the snow with nowhere to call a home G D start their singing... singing Em C#m waiting through the summertime to thaw your hearts in wintertime G D that’s why they’re singing... singing
[Chorus 1]
Em C G C waiting for a sign to turn blood into wine Em C G D the sweet taste in your mouth, turned bitter in its glass Em C G C Israel... in Israel Em C G D Israel... in Israel
[Verse 2]
Em C#m shattered fragments of the past meet in veins on the stained glass G D like the lifeline in your palm Em C#m red and green reflects the scene of a long forgotten dream G D there were princes and there were kings
[Chorus 2]
Em C G C now hidden in... disguise, cheap wrappings of lies Em C G D keep your heart alive, with a song from inside [Bridge] e|-12------------9--------------------------| B|----12-----------9------------+12------+7-| G|-------12----------9-------+12-------+7---| D|----------12---------9--+12--------+7-----| A|------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------|
[Verse 3]
Em C#m even though we're all alone we are never on our own G D when we’re singing... singing
[Bridge]
Em C G C ooohh ooohh e|-12------------9--------------------------| B|----12-----------9------------+12------+7-| G|-------12----------9-------+12-------+7---| D|----------12---------9--+12--------+7-----| A|------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------| e|-7---------7---------7-----------7-----------| B|---0---------0---------0-------0---0-------0-| G|-----6---------6---------6---6-------6---6---| (x4) D|-------7---------7---------7-----------7-----| A|---------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------|
[Verse 4]
Em C#m there’s a man who’s looking in and he smiles a toothless grin G D because he’s singing... singing Em C#m See some people shine with glee but their song is jealousy G D their hate is clanging... maddening
[Chorus 3]
Em C G C in Israel will they sing happy Noel Em C G D Israel... in Israel Em C G C Israel... in Israel Em C G D in Israel will they sing happy Noel
