B’chol Dor Vador – In Every Generation

In every generation we relive a time we fled out of a narrow place with freedom on our mind

 

We recall how we were dancing when we saw the waters part, how we stood as one at Sinai and felt that Godbeat in our heart

 

Now we chant the ancient prayers even as we sing new songs, weave our future with the past, keep the spirit in us strong

 

Sing of Miriam, sing of Deborah, sing of Emma, sing of Szold, in every generation there's a story to be told

 

Our rejoicing is a mixture of the bitter and the sweet; until all live in freedom our journey's not complete

 

We must put an end to hunger, hatred, crime and war; in every generation that's what we're striving for

 

Oh yes in every generation we relive a time we fled out of a narrow place with freedom on our mind
