Neshama / Soul Title Track Mordechai Ben David MBD Jewish Music Lyrics

From one of MBD's first albums. Classic. 

I think he says "tundreds of sand" but i can't find a dictionary that has heard of the word Tundred. 

Here's a blurb for the Album that I found on Mostlymusic.com:

Liner Notes for MBD Neshama - Soul Mordechai Ben David is a child of a glorious musical tradition. His father, Cantor David Werdyger, is the world’s foremost interpreter of the famous music of Ger, Poland’s largest Chassidic center. Cantor Werdyger was an authentic wunderkind, of pre-war Europe. His son is an American original, blending timeless religious motifs with today’s sound. In the past few years, Mordechai has become one of our foremost singers. He has performed before thousands throughout the United States and abroad. After the Yom Kippur War, he was invited to entertain the Israeli troops. With his religious background and his musical talent, he gives us his new album Neshama (soul). The producers of this album bring you the very best. Tap your feet to such lively tuned as Al Hanisim the sit back and let Mordechai stir your soul with his Vaani Tefilati.

Here's the song

A stranger adrift in an unfriendly land
Of mountains, tundras of sand
To enrich and enliven this wasteland is his goal
His name is Neshama, soul

From a mountain came a gift of the only true life
Sinai now stands for bloodshed and strife
When rifles fall silent and tanks cease to roll
The victor will then be the soul

Blackened and charred like a synagogue burned
Lies a tank lifeless and overturned
Four heroes within snuffed out like a coal
But forever and ever and ever alive is the soul
