May It Be by Naomi Shemer

There is yet a white sail on the horizon,
Set against the dark and heavy clouds,
All that we ask for, let it be,
And if in the windows by evening,
The festive candles should flicker,
All that we ask for, let it be, 

Let it be, let it be,
Please - let it be,
All that we ask for, let it be,

And if the messenger should come to the door,
Place good news on his lips,
All that we ask for, let it be,
If your soul asks to pass on,
From blooms and harvests,
All that we ask for, let it be,

Let it be, let it be,
Please - let it be,
All that we ask for, let it be,

The anguished voices I hear,
The sound of the shofar and the sound of drums,
All that we ask for, let it be,
And if within all of them should be heard,
A single prayer from my lips,
All that we ask for, let it be,

Let it be, let it be,
Please - let it be,
All that we ask for, let it be,

In a small, leafy neighborhood,
A small house with a red roof,
All that we ask for, let it be,
It's the end of summer, the end of the journey,
Let them return home,
All that we ask for, let it be,

Let it be, let it be,
Please - let it be,
All that we ask for, let it be,

 And if suddenly from the dark should shine,
The light of a star on our faces,
All that we ask for, let it be,
Give peace and also strength,
To all those we love,
All that we ask for, let it be,

Let it be, let it be,
Please - let it be,
All that we ask for, let it be.
