Thirteen Jews locked up in Iran
Accused of being spies for a foreign land
Falsely charged, for a trial they stand
Thirteen Jews, locked up in Iran.

Their only crime was being born a Jew
For that and teachin' their kids Hebrew
But then again, what else is new??
Their only crime, was being born a Jew!

The youngest one is only eighteen!
In a land where justice is just a pipe_dream!
That sure is young to face the guillotine!
The youngest one, is only eighteen!

Thirteen Jews locked up in Iran!
Accused of being spies for a foreign land!
Falsely charged, for a trial they stand!
Thirteen Jews, locked up in Iran!

Well we hear in the news, some have confessed to their crime
But with a gun to your back, you know it ain't worth a dime!
Yes our prayers are with you all and like tefileen we bind!
You will always be close, to our hearts and our minds!

There was a cold wind blowing through the Persian skies
And when the gavel crashed down it was no surprise
Now we’re praying for an Esther and a Mordechai
May our prayers be heard, by The One on High!

Thirteen Jews locked up in Iran
Accused of being spies for a foreign land
Falsely charged, its time to take a stand
Thirteen Jews, locked up in Iran.
