The lyrics of the 2008 composition read 'Color Red, Color Red Hurry, hurry, hurry, to a safe area'.
The rocket barrage on Israel in the last few days has rekindled interest in a video aimed to help Israeli kids to cope with the psychological stress brought about by the security threats, Israeli daily Haaretz repored Friday.
"The Code Red (Tzeva Adom) Song," titled after the siren warning of incoming rockets from the Hamas-controlled enclave, has gained upward of 55,000 views, most of them in recent days. The version was uploaded in 2012, during Israel's Operation Pillar of Defense, yet the video of the song penned by Sderot educator Shachar Bar was filmed back in 2008, during Operation Cast Lead.
"Four years ago a kindergarten teacher wanted to do something to help the children in her class deal with the ongoing air raid sirens and rocket attacks against Israel," reads the video description.
"The song combines lyrics that allow the children to express their anxiety and fear with hand and body movements that help distract their minds to something more positive," the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee stated of the song, which was composed as part of the group's project to assist children living under the threat of Hamas missiles.
The lyric goes as follows:
Color Red, Color Red
Hurry, hurry, hurry, to a safe area
Hurry, Hurry cause now it’s a bit dangerous
My heart is beating, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
My body is shaking, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom
But I am overcoming
Cause I am a little different
Falling down – Boom
We may now stand up
Our body we shake, shake shake, shake, shake
Our legs we loosen, loosen, loosen, loosen, loosen
Breathe deep, breathe out far
Breathe deep, we can laugh
It's all gone and I feel good it's over – Yesssss!
