Balaam and Balak

Oooh, Balaam, oooh, and Balak

Oooh, Balaam, oooh, and Balak

I see him but not now

I behold him but not near

A Star shall come out of Jacob

A Sceptre shall rise out of Israel

And batter at the brow of Moab

And destroy all the sons of Sheth

And he took up this parable(?)

Rise up, Balak, and hear

God is not a man that he should lie

There's no sorcery against Jacob

Blessed is he who blesses you

And cursed is he who curses you

Like valleys that stretch out

Gardens by the river's side

Aloes planted by the Lord

Like cedars beside the waters

He shall pour water from his bucket

His seed shall be in many waters

The utterings of Balaam the son of Beor

The man whose eyes are open

The utterings of him who hears the words of God

And has knowledge of the Most High

Who sees the vision of the Almighty

Who falls down with eyes wide open

I see him but not now

I behold him but not near

A Star shall come out of Jacob...
