When I Was YoungWhen I was young I heard a tale Of a giant oh so tall And his son oh, so small They shared a dream to see the king They hungered for the day And hurried on their way. And we will do it brothers After us there’ll be no others You and I will do What giants wanted to So stand and take the credit We will be the ones to end it Although we’re small We’re standing tall Like soldiers, riding high Because we’re on our fathers shoulder. As they near, the two despaired Above the giants’ eyes. “Wait my son,” said he “Climb upon me And as I rise You will be my eyes.”
The Golus night is passing, The sun’s about to rise, All we have to do, Is to open up our eyes. To feel the Rebbe’s message, To hear the Rebbe’s plea, Oimaid Al Hagag, To proclaim for all to see. Anovim Anovim Higia Hazman, The threshold of Geulah, We’re standing upon. Chorus:
With all our might we pray. And lead us to Geulah, Today. Wake Up, YiddenWake up, Yidden From the dream of Golus Get ready to meet Moshiach Tzidkeinu Geulah is coming Swiftly towards us
No more will lions roar Umalah ha’aretz deo We’ll give thanks to His Name And march to Geulah With the Rebbe Shlita.
It wishes to return The little bird is wounded It cannot fly, but yearns It’s captured by the vultures Crying bitterly Oh, to see my nest again Oh, to be free. The little bird of silver So delicate and rare Still chirps among the vultures Outshining all that’s there How long, how long, it suffers How long will it be Oh, when will come the eagle And set the little bird free. The little bird is Yisroel The vultures are our foes The painful wound is Golus Which we all feel and know The nest is Yerusholayim Where we yearn to be, once more And the eagle is Moshiach Whom we are waiting for. Ahavas YisroelForever OneLook inside through the heart of a Jew Open up its many doors And the soul that you’ll see there inside Is a reflection of yours. For each soul is a part of one whole That joins us to each other We are all part of one another And we have always been one. We are one since away back in time Unified at our start We began as a nation to live And believe with one heart. You and I we were all gathered there As one we said we’ll do and hear We were born to belong together And forever be one. Forever one we will go far It’s not I am but who we are We need just to reveal it Need to try and feel it. And never are we alone We have each other as our own Nothing can divide us For we are forever one. There are times when we might drift apart And go our own separate ways But the sparks from above that we share Is alive and ablaze. Soon Moshiach will gather each spark And shine away the darkness He will gather us all together And we shall ever be one. Return Why Did You Leave MeOver the horizon clear A saintly form of man appears Meditating as he walks alone Stillness wraps the air complete. His thoughts profound so very deep His pure neshoma to new heights has flown When all at once shattering the night A trembling cry of loneliness and fright. Return why did you leave me Come back I’ll tell you where you can find me And then friends forever Side by side we’ll walk eternally. Peering closely he could see Tears of fire misery A lone child looked up at his honest face My friends have gone to sleep away. They left me here alone at play And search no longer for my hidden place So very well concealed from sight I stood Please sir return them to me if you could. And so with his devotion deep The man began to rouse from sleep As many of her friends as he could see He told them of her love and will And that she’s waiting for them still. And if they’d come she’d step out openly The main we know continued endlessly To wipe away her tears and set her free. Don’t Walk In Front Of MeDon’t walk in front of me, I may not follow Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me, and be my friend And together, we will walk in the ways of Hashem. Two BrothersThose two brothers They were the best of friends They were never seen alone Always together Those two brothers. One was very good He earned his parents praise Everybody marveled At the way that he was raised The other had a sinful streak It led him away from good He had a lot of trouble Doing what he should Those two brothers.
When they were 18 While one served his creator The other on the streets was seen You could find him With those bright city lights Crime his best friend Everybody wondered what he’d be like in the end Those two brothers.
They never saw each other But deep at heart They still loved one another Each one living On opposite sides of town One led his congregation While the other led the underground. One night there was a knocking On the Rabbi’s door An expensive baby carriage With a note on the floor... Please take care of my son May he never see a gun Raise him as a good Jew I hope he grows to be just like you My dear brother...
