Troubles of the World 
– Drawn from an experience with a woman 
whose feminist kibbutz was shattered by 
violence when they tried to read the Torah 
at the Wailing Wall. 

The troubles of the world are in my body
In my body, in my body
The troubles of the world are in my body
O, if I could heal

The sorrow of the world is in my body
In my body, in my body
The troubles of the world are in my body
O if I could grieve

The story of the world is in my body
In my body, in my body
The story of the world is in my body
O if I could tell

Miriam, Miriam, praying at the wall in Jerusalem
Miriam, Miriam, praying at the wall in Jerusalem

The dying of the world is in my body
In my body, in my body
The dying of the world is in my body
O if I had peace

The music of the world is in my body
In my body, in my body
The music of the world is in my body
O if I could dance

The wings of the world are in my body
In my body, in my body
The wings of the world are in my body
O if I could fly

Miriam, Miriam, praying at the wall in Jerusalem
Miriam, Miriam, praying at the wall in Jerusalem

The light of the world is in my body
In my body, in my body
The light of the world is in my body
O if I could rise
