Hillhar - Celebrate



It's pride week and next Friday afternoon the news will be filled with colorful pictures from the massive Tel Aviv pride parade. A much more modest pride parade took place in Jerusalem on Thursday under very tight security, four years after 16-year-old Shira Banki was stabbed to death by an ultra-Orthodox extremist. This touching video from Hillhar captures this year's theme perfectly: One community, many faces.

In the dark where I stand
Are you a foe or a friend?
Not defined or exist by the rules you persist

So young so old
I'm all the things that I've been told
Through these windows you see all those faces of me

Celebrate our bodies
A present that's so rare
I'm sailing in my mind and
Respect the love we share
I'm so in love with you
You're not a boy nor a girl, are you?
I'm so in love with you

Give the voice a body so it can walk around
Is it really so important how I'm defined?

Celebrate our bodies
A present that's so rare
I'm sailing in my mind and
Respect the love we share
I'm so in love with you
You're not a boy nor a girl, are you?
I'm so in love with you

Live this life like a game
Changing forms be whatever,
Whatever you want to be

Celebrate our bodies
