I cry when I listen to that song (Ahavas Yisrael/Together), and I am usually not prone to crying. Btw the original lyrics are:
I am an ancient wall of stone, atop a hill so high.
And if you listen with your heart, you just may hear my cry.
Where has the Bais HaMikdosh gone, I stand here all alone.
How long am I to wait for all my children to come home?
A house of marble and of gold once stood here by my side.
From far and wide all came to see its beauty and its pride.
But Sin’as Chinam brought it down, and with it so much pain.
Now only Ahavas Yisrael can build it once again.
Together, together, you stood by Har Sinai, my daughters and sons.
Forever, forever, you must stand together forever as one.
You come and stand beside my stones to raise your voice in prayer.
You ask “When will the Galus end, how much more can we bear?”.
But Sin’as Chinam still lives on, it lingers in your heart.
How can you come back home to me, while you remain apart?
Together, together, you stood by Har Sinai, my daughter and sons.
Forever, forever, you must stand together forever as one.
Together, together, you stood by Har Sinai, b’nai Avraham.
Forever, forever, you must stand together forever as one.
