Tikkun Olam

[Chorus 1]
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
To repair the broken world
Raise your hand
Beat the drum
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
For a change to come
Tikkun Olam

[Verse 1]
In a city where school have more police than they have nurses
In a country with more prison cells than hospital beds
Where we spend more on war than medicine
How will we get well?
There is an ancient phrase in Hebrew
"[?]" you, means we've got a job to do
It isn't simple, but it's true

[Chorus 1]
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
To repair the broken world
Raise your hand
Beat the drum
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
For a change to come
Tikkun Olam

[Post-Chorus]
Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam

[Verse 2]
In a state with better access to bullets than to ballots
On a planet where billionaires are richer
Than billions of us combined
It sure it's harder to stay hopeful
Gets darker everyday
But hope does not mean we'll be blessed
Solomon says it best
Hope should shove us out the door
So let's get up off the floor
So we can stand and show up for the future hope is fighting for

[Chorus 2]
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
We can heal the hurting world
Raise your hand
Beat the drum
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
For a change to come
Tikkun Olam

[Post-Chorus]
Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam

[Bridge]
Working for a way
We can build a better day
More together step by step
To walk the walk
Oh, when we say

[Chorus 3]
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
We can heal the hurting world
For a song just not sung
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
Tikkun Olam
(Tikkun Olam)
For a change to come
Tikkun Olam

[Post-Chorus]
Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam
Tikkun Olam
