I'm pretty sure it's on Gather Round.  Like much of Linda's stuff, it is
musically more challenging than average, but beautiful.  Also, the line "I will
go/ I will go/ I'll sleep with you / Elech, elech v'a-lin" might raise some
questions in students' and parents' minds.  Not that that's a bad thing at all,
but it requires a decision to be open to addressing those questions.
