In the Eurovision song contest, Israel won second prize
Competing with many countries, Most of them larger in size
The song and its lyrics
Made every Jew proud,
Not morbid or sad,
We’re now singing them aloud
“I choose the light,”
Are words from the song
If we follow this rule,
We’ll never go wrong
Despite tragic times,
The music doesn’t have a somber tone Although the words say,
“Everyone cries, (we) don’t cry alone”
“Darkness will fade,”
That no one denies
The song’s title predicts,
“A New Day Will Rise.”
