Beit She'an (help·info) (Hebrew: בֵּית שְׁאָן Beth Šəān; Arabic: بيسان, Beesān (help·info), Beisan or Bisan) is a city in the North District of Israel which has played an important role historically due to its geographical location at the junction of the Jordan River Valley and Jezreel Valley. It has also played an important role in modern times, acting as the regional center for the numerous villages in the Beit She'an Valley Regional Council.
Beit She'an's location has often been strategically significant, as it sits at the junction of the Jordan River Valley and the Jezreel Valley, essentially controlling access from the interior to the coast, as well as from Jerusalem to the Galilee.
In 1933, archaeologist G.M. FitzGerald, under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania Museum, carried out a “deep cut” on Tell el-Hosn, the large mound of Beth Shean in order to determine the earliest occupation of the site. His results suggest that settlement began in the Late Neolithic or Early Chalcolithic periods (sixth to fifth millennia BCE. Occupation continued intermittently up to the late Early Bronze Age I (3200-3000), according to pottery finds, and then resumes in the Early Bronze Age III. A large cemetery on the northern side of the mound was in use from the Bronze Age to Byzantine times.Canaanite graves dating from 2000-1600 BCE were discovered in 1926.

Here we are, just the two of us
Far away from the crazy rush
And while the storm is raging
It's safe and warm inside
Close the door and forget about time
Ease the river runnin' through your mind
Lay your body next to me
Let your secrets all be mine
Take my hand and believe me
That love will guide us through
Anytime that you need me
Girl I'll be there for you
While the world is going crazy
While the sky is falling down
One thing you can depend on
I will always be around
While the rain outside is pouring
I will make the sun shine through
While the world is going crazy
You can count on me
Cause I'll be loving you
Cause I'll be loving you
I turned on the news today
But I don't wanna hear a word they say
Outside the world is breakin' down
But we don't have a clue
Like a scream in an empty room
It's gettin harder just to find the truth
Let's forget it 'till the night is through
It's all about me and you
We can make our own heaven
It's not so hard to find
Cause girl I will protect you
Until the end of time
It doesn't really matter
If you win, lose or draw
I will be your shelter
I will catch you when you fall
All you do is just trust in me
I will keep you satisfied
Close your eyes and enjoy the ride
While the world is going crazy
(crazy)
While the sky is falling down
(falling down)
One thing you can depend on
I will always be around
(I'll be right there for ya baby)
While the rain outside is pouring
(pouring down)
I will make the sun shine through
While the world is going crazy
You can count on me
(you can count on me girl)
Cause I'll be loving you
(cause I'll be loving you)
(cause I'll be loving you)
I'll be loving you
All you do is call
