Lonely prisoner,
Sand runs through your fingers, days run through the bars,
And you sit... and you wait.

Lonely prisoner,
Has your hope turned bitter, lost faith in those you saved?
Still, you sit... and you wait.

CHORUS
Uf'duyei Hashem ye'shuvun, u'va'u tziyon be'rinah...
G-d, please bring him home now, it's been so many years...
Uf'duyei Hashem ye'shuvun, u'va'u tziyon be'rinah...
Bring Jonathan home to Israel, mishi'bud li'ge'ulah!

Lonely prisoner,
Silence, bitter grey gloom, fills your tortured headroom,
And you sit... and you wait.

Lonely prisoner,
You turn to G-d, imprisoned; you plead with Him every day,
That you sit... and you wait.

[CHORUS]

NIGUN

Lonely prisoner,
Lies of politicians hurt you more than help you,
And you sit... and you wait.

Lonely prisoner,
G-d will bring you home soon! We ask Him every day
That you sit... and you wait...

[CHORUS]
