Zemira Israel - Day of Simon Lyrics

Hey Mom,
I have a question.
What’s the Day of Simon about?
Well son I’ll tell you all about it,

They Killed us alive
Ain’t nothin new under the sun
They forced down the swine
Into our flesh or took our lives
Have we no regard, oh
We’re our ancestors children
Stories aforetime, told
Thank the Most High God for them, mm

Day of Simon
And the others
that were with him too
(All of your great sacrifice)
All their trials
and great victories
God brought them through

We remember you
Ooh
ooh
Ooh
We remember you
Ooh ooh-ooh
We remember you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
We remember you
Ooh ooh-ooh
We remember you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
We remember you
Ooh ooh-ooh
We remember you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
We remember you
Ooh ooh-ooh

Scared for our lives
He exhorted and our spirits revived
Our city fortified
By our brother Simon’s courage and might
Have we no regard, oh
For the men who fought our enemies
Stories aforetime told
The latter days of Simon were peace

Day of Simon
And the others
that were with him too
All their trials
and great victories
God brought them through

We remember you
Ooh
ooh
Ooh
We remember you
Ooh ooh-ooh
We remember you
Ooh
ooh
Ooh
We remember you
Ooh ooh-ooh
We remember you
Ooh

Ooh
We remember you
Ooh ooh-ooh
We remember you
Ooh

We remember you
Ooh ooh-ooh
