Lyrics

I’ve asked the wise,
They say Golus is a blessing in disguise,
A greater light
follows the night,
But it’s been so long,
It feels so wrong,
It’s not where we belong

Brothers and friends,
We must bring this Golus to it's end,
Our urgent cries,
Will pierce the skies,
Tell us Hashem—
עד מתי—Till when?

Chorus:

Golus it’s time for you to go,
Goodbye,
Bring down the curtain on the show,
Goodbye,
You’re lasting much to long no one can deny,
Enough!
Is enough!
It’s time to say goodbye!
So open wide your prison door,
Goodbye,
We are your prisoners no more,
Goodbye,
You cannot stop us now, so don’t even try,
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Tt’s time to say goodbye!

Father and King,
Everything is You and You are Everything,
But Golus lies,
And blinds our eyes,
Why can’t we see
Your Majesty
Undisguised,

In the heavens high,
All the Angles tremble when they hear You cry,
For every Jew,
All we’ve been through,
‘Till we are Home
You’re in Golus too.

(Chorus)
