Showing The Way Lyrics by The New Journeymen

0

When immigrants come from many lands
And ask for help with outstretched hands
Someone must be waiting there
To help, to teach, to love and care
To help the father find his place
To teach his wife the modern way
To love the cause that gives them strength
To care that he shall find his way
Women half a million strong
Have held their hands and dried the tears
Of all of those who have come along
They call themsеlves the pioneers
The pioneer womеn have lent their helping hand
And caused the chain unbroken that links our mighty lands
Israel built of dreams and prayers
But someone must be waiting there
To help, to teach, to love and care
An immigrant from a Polish town
For whom a new life must be found
A newborn babe with a hunger cry
A helpless mother standing by
The desert peoples wanderings past
The nomad tribes come home at last
Built to last a million years
This is the work of the pioneers
The father must learn the language so he can ply his trade
His daughter now a student nurse will soon give others aid
The mother must learn to use and cook with the foods of her new land
Her son someday a farmer will raise them by his hand
And while their elders learn the new
Someone must teach the young
At the nurseries and day schools
The work is never done
The pioneer women at home and 'cross the sea
Have waged an endless battle for civil liberty
Israel built of dreams and prayers
Women half a million strong
Have held their hands and dried the tears
Of all of those who have come along
They build the hopes and drown the fears
They call themselves the pioneers
The pioneer women
