[Verse 1]
You've had your troubles Israel
I've seen them all
But you put the writing on the wall
Israel, Israel

[Verse 2]
You know I've seen you fall so many times
I've cried for you and that's a crime
Israel, Israel, Israel

[Chorus]
Where there's sand
Where there's beautiful sand
You know you got a kind of feeling
That's just grand
Take me into your arms
Let me be with you
Israel, Israel, Israel

[Verse 3]
I like the smiles up on your people's faces
They make you feel warm embraces
And I want that kind of smile
That kind of smile
Israel you make the whole world think about you
And if they don't they'll find a reason
To shout about Israel, Israel

[Verse 4]
You're the only one, Israel, Israel
Tell me all about it!
Tell me all about it
Tell me all about it
Oh, take me into your arms
And make me feel your goodness
Be with me Israel
Take me into your arms
Let me hold hold you to myself
Oh, I want to, Israel

[Outro]
Israel, take me back into into your arms
Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel
Israel

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
