Keys to the Lost House

When they were expelled from Spain
Al Sepharad Jews took along
the keys to their houses thinking
they would come back soon

They never came back
strange keys were found
floating around as tokens
were cherished and embraced
from Genoa to Galicia
while back in Al Andalus it was
a busy time for locksmiths

People believed a strange key
will open a hidden door, any door
the door to your secret room
the door to the house of your past
the house of your dreams

As long as you have hope
as long as you keep the faith
