מילות השיר:
Jewish Child, listen carefully
How can I express what I must say to you
For you were born into a legacy
That stretches back three thousand years
And now it's left to you
What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we have lost you must build again

Chorus:
When the children cry
The gates of heaven open wide
And when the children sing
Then the new world begins

Jewish child,
You must show the way
To a better day for all the young
For you were born so the world could see
that we all can live in harmony
Anciest prophecies proclaim your destiny
And you my child you are the key
These words I leave to you

Chorus:
When the children cry
The gates of heaven open wide
When the children fight
Then the day turns to night
When the children pray
Then the night turns to day
And when the children sing
Then the new world begins
