Chorus:

Eliyahu hanavi, eliyahu hatishbi

Eliyahu hanavi, eliyahu hagiladi

Bim-hera v’yameinu, yavo eileinu

Im moshiach ben david (x2)

We are waiting for a time to come, when injustice shall be gone

Pain and violence will be no more, done with hatred, done with war

And all the people in the land, will lend their voices lend their hand

That day starts with you and me and Eliyahu hanavi!

When that day comes a sun will dawn, on a historic bright new morn’

The human race in equality, no crying hungry mouths to feed

Our dream of tzedek will be true, the Jewish soul will be renewed

That day starts with you and me and Eliyahu hanavi

(call and response)

So we will not wait a minute more,

to build the world we’re waiting for

Building starts with you and me

and Eliyahu (x3) Eliyahu hanavi
