Healing River
(F. Hellerman, F. Minkoff,  played with the Hal Mooney Orchestra)

Esther Ofarim, 1964

O healing river, send down your waters
Send down your waters upon this land
O healing river, send down your waters
To wash the blood from off the sand
This land is parching, this land is bursting
No seed is growing in the barren ground
This land is parching, this land is bursting
O healing river, send  your waters down.

Let the seed of freedom awake and flourish
Let the deep roots nourish, let the tall stalks rise
Let the seed of freedom awake and flourish
[...] against the skies

O healing river, send down your waters
Send down your waters upon this land
O healing river, send down your waters
To wash the blood from off the sand.
