Listen And You’ll LearnListen and you’ll learn my son For you the world has just begun Still before you know it You may turn around and see That life has passed you by.
Think about them every day Make every minute What you see when you begin it Or it passes by.
Cherish the friends that you find Think three times before you shout Always remember to be kind. Listen close when children speak Treasure the things that they know The cries and tears of younger years Carry the wisdom when they grow. Buddy can you spare a dime Sorry but I ain’t got the time Tatty can you team with me I’m sorry son but don’t you see I can’t today.
Slip away before you know The hands on the clock advance And we who beg for second chances Take the time to think things right.
Ask yourself each morning and night Who am I closer with today.
There is no shoulder so wide There is no better time to start And nothing more foolish than your pride. How Can I Tell YouHow can I tell you what a treasure you are How can I show you when you’ve strayed so far From the life of our fathers and the heritage they’ve earned How can I show you what you’ve never learned. How can I tell you what it means to be a Jew How can I show you when you don’t believe it’s true That your life has a purpose higher than you understand And you’re not like other nations and you’re in a foreign land. You strive and you struggle to be like those you see But inside your soul is dying you’re not who you should be Yes it’s hard to be different take responsibility ‘Cuz a life without courage is without integrity. The Sun Low In The Sky(T.T.T.O. Shir Hamaalos—Miami) The sun low in the sky An air of peaceful calm The Tzemach Tzedek sits And holds his zaide’s arm.
About to pass away Oh, Zaide, let me know What it is you’ve seen today. Oh Mendel, my dear boy A world so good and true So much there, both to have and to do You must strive to understand Him Use your heart and use your mind For Hashem is so close and kind. And, dear Mendel, please take heed Though this task does have no end Learn to know Him and to love Him as a friend Make fulfilling each Mitzva, the forming of a bond Between you and Hashem echod.
Tears mingled from his eyes Together with his father lie, cries Hesitantly reaching to comfort and home The place he has always shunned.
To brush off his father’s pleas In search of self meaning to his life At the Colorado youth cult site. Chorus: My son here is one request To still your heart and give it rest No matter the cost Teffillin you must wear A heritage of father’s so dear.
To show my dad I will not dare My paper walls of bravery are failing apart I’ll see the real me at heart. I’m a youth ambling listlessly At war with the world and me My father’s truth ringing in my cars I’m scared to bear the guilt and penalty. Chorus: Son there is one request Given by the one who knows you best Hashem and the Torah the only real truth
Tread the path of Torah and Yiddishkeit To still your heart and bring forth it’s life .
Children Of RoyaltyA child so young and pure Untainted by our world Little lights that chase away dark Golus.
You are our only Guarantee Today our Rebbe knows That you can claim our victory. Don’t weaken in you spirits Don’t leave your sacred path You’re children of our nation You’re our future. Stand loyal in your service You serve a royal rank You’ll march toward Moshiach And we’ll follow. We’re loyal in our service We serve a royal rank , We’ll march towards Moshiach And they’ll follow. Straight And Strong Grows A TreeStraight and strong grows a tree Planted, attended to, very carefully The parents’ guidance and direction For the son, creates an inner strength. Shabbos candles burning bright Father learning late at night Memories being imprinted On the young child’s mind forever. His parents, a living example On Mitzvosnot to trample Baneinu areivim ba’adeinu Guaranteeing Geulah. Once When The Miteler Rebbe Dov BerOnce when the Miteler Rebbe Dov Ber Was Learning late in the night Torah and holiness sang in his heart Echoing power and might. Once when the Miteler Rebbe Dov Ber Was Learning late in the night Torah and holiness sang in his heart Filling his eyes with their light. Nearby his baby was sleeping It woke up suddenly weeping And crying aloud for its father But nobody answered its call. The Rebbe Reb Berl was learning The Torah within him was burning The whole world and all of its treasures Worth less than a dream in the night. Above Reb Berl his father was up Learning late in the night The Alter Rebbe the Manhig Hador Heard it cry out in fright. Down down to the child he came And lifted it up on his arm He dried the rears and sang it a song Guarding the child from harm. The Alter Rebbe stayed near him For he knew his son would not hear him Until he had finished his learning And then he told him these words. Berel my son let me teach you The cries of a child must reach you No matter how deep you devotion No matter how high you may rise. The Alter Rebbe was teaching his son And every other Jew To help when our children cry out in their need This is the task we must do. The Rebbe’s speech must be treasured His words are counted and measured His message is lasting and precious To guide us all through the night. The Rebbe’s Speech must be treasured His words are counted and measured His message is lasting and precious To guide us from darkness to light. Download 0.87 Mb. Share with your friends:
