Eli Nathan - Teheran lyrics

In Teheran he was born, that's where it began For a twelve year old boy in the land of Iran Raised in a land that hated him so You can feel it in the streets everywhere you go History's repeating itself, yes it's true Once again the victims of oppression are the Jews Ezra comes home from school with tears in his eyes His parents hold him close and tell him not to cry Chorus: Don't fear, my dear son There's a G-d above who's one He'll see you through He'll take care of you, my boy They came into his school just the other They were looking for a Jewish boy to take away To the battlefront to be never seen again They pointed at Ezra - it was him they wished to send Ezra went on running past him down the hall Unheeding to the angry shouts and calls Where he run to where could he go The words he had heard echoed in his soul Chorus: Don't fear, my dear son There's a G-d above who's one He'll see you through He'll take care of you, my boy Ducked into an alleyway stayed there half the night His clothes were torn to shreds, his soul was torn in fright Came home before dawn, the time was getting late "The only thing to do, my son, is to escape" On horseback, running through the mountain side By night he flees, by day he tries to hide He's getting closer now the border he can see Ezra's thinking, "Soon I will be free" Cross the border, disappear from sight As the dawn slowly broke the night Just a boy on horseback, all alone Thinking of the ones he left back home Chorus: Don't fear, my dear son There's a G-d above who's one He saw you through He'll take care of you, my boy Chorus: Don't fear, my dear son There's a G-d above who's one He saw you through And He'll take care of you, my boy
