Beautiful people from our biblical past,

Come take our outstretched hand,

For you're all so welcome, you're with us at last,

In this the Promised Land.

Come into our life, we've all opened our arms,

For to help you is what we desire,

We have room in our hearts for your warmth and your charms,

And your smiles that never do tire.

Oh what anxiety there must have been,

In Ethiopia waiting forever,

Dreaming about the visions you'd seen,

Although maybe you'd not see them ever.

So after "Operation Moses" who knew,

What the future for you there would hold,

A real struggle was needed by each and every Jew,

If a happy ending was to be resolved.

And with the worry and acute consternation,

There were fears and terrible doubt,

That if came the chance of negotiation,

Would we get our brothers and sisters out ?

But then thank G-d at long last it arrived,

That magical weekend in May,

All the work and effort for which we had strived,

Had eventually come round our way.

"Solomon" was on and it wasn't too late,

An airlift so full of emotion,

The almighty above had decided the fate,

Of our brothers so full of devotion.

So beautiful people from our biblical past,

Come take our outstretched hand,

For you're all so welcome, you're with us at last,
