[JAH29 <JAH29...>]

Dear Jackie,
    There are so many good lyrics now to "Al Kol Eileh".  Here is what I 
wrote and performed, in addition to the Hebrew, shortly after the song came out 
years ago.

AL KOL EILEH

Without bitterness, what's sweetness?
    To have honey, guard the bee.
And, dear God, my baby daughter.....
    Care for all of these.

Care for firelight that warms us...
    Crystal waters that run free.
And, dear God, care for the man
    Who's coming back to me.

    Al kol eileh, al kol eileh
Oh, dear God, take care of these.
    Without bitterness, what is sweetness?
To have honey, guard the bee.
    Don't uproot our young lives growing....
Don't uproot our young hopes, too.
    Bring him back, please, to this good land
 And we'll care for it for You.
