Abraham

from One Love by Ari Lesser

about

Let Jews and Muslims follow the lead of their common ancestor Abraham and smash the idols that separate them from each other

lyrics

Abraham

Father Abraham was born
Into the world of Babylon
A sinful place where people prayed
To idols they themselves had made
Even at home he was all alone
Refusing to bow to a piece of stone
Family idols he smashed to bits
For he knew the Lord exists
Shunned by all and called a traitor
Cause he knew God was greater
Than an object made by man
And he was the first to understand
He had two sons and both were blessed
By the Almighty One, with great success
They obeyed the Lord’s command
And to this day they rule the land

Lets put our differences behind us
Out of sight and out of mind cause
If you look where we begin
You and me are kin

It seems now we’re back at the start
The world is being torn apart
By wicked greedy violent men
Who worship idols once again
The young are corrupted by the old
Bought and sold for a piece of gold
Given guns and taught to kill
Believing murder is God’s will
The Ten commandments they forget
Their alter is their TV set
Bowing down to glowing screens
Ignoring God they praise machines
No matter where I turn my eyes
Babylon is on the rise
Everyone thinks God is man
Where is the clan of Abraham?

Lets put our differences behind us
Out of sight and out of mind cause
If you look where we begin
You and me are kin

Islam and Israel are at odds
As though they worship different Gods
Jews and Muslims don’t be tricked
You have no reason for conflict
Share the land put down your gun
You both love the Almighty One
And wicked men love nothing more
Than to see those who fear God at war
Stop fighting with one another
Grab a hammer bring your brother
Follow in your father’s path
Many idols must be smashed
Drugs and guns and television
We are One with no division
Rip to shreds your books of hate
Do not wait til it’s to late

Lets put our differences behind us
Out of sight and out of mind cause
If you look where we begin
You and me are kin
