EmunahOh Why, We Jews All Cry(T.T.T.O. Kosel Maarovi) Oh why, we Jews all cry Are things so tough, we’ve had enough. We’ve worked and slaved all through these years Oh, when will Hashem wipe away our tears.
Oh, when will we walk hand in hand With Moshiach to the Promised Land. Oh, when will we walk hand in hand With Moshiach to the Promised Land.
It isn’t fair, but our Bitachon is strong. All the Jews are spread apart It breaks our heart, but it won’t be for long. For soon, we will walk… Soon we’ll hear a sound that’s near Telling us that the time is now. For the sound will be Eliyohu Hanovi And Moshiach will come to fulfill G-d’s vow. And then we will walk… You’re Never AloneSometimes when you’re feeling all alone You need some happiness to call your own, Nothing is going the way it should You’re trying to do the best you could. Lift up your eyes to the sky You’re life’s in His hands, trust in Him, He will reply. Guiding all your steps, always at your side You are His joy and pride. And don’t you know you’re never alone It doesn’t matter where you are, There’s nothing in His eyes more special than you, Wherever you go, Hashem goes with you. B’siyata DishmayaHave you ever felt, there’s no where to turn Things seem confused, no one’s concerned The times we live in are oh, so dark, A little faith, a light to spark There’s a vision eases pain Hope arises again, hope arises again. B’siyata dishmaya whatever we do When we need Him to help us, He’ll always come through Never will we feel alone With His help we can stand on our own. B’siyata dishmaya whatever will be All the world that we hope for is open to see We need Him to show us the way B’siyata dishmaya. Sometimes we feel the strength of our hands Can bring us success, but we don’t understand It’s not always the way it seems, Hashem alone provides our needs And stands behind every circumstance It’s not only by chance, no, it’s not only by chance. Prayer after prayer, tear after tear, Begging for help, for heaven to hear When Hashem’s on our side Every door is open wide Our only hope is to look to the sky Where He waits for our cry Where He waits for our cry. YisroelYisroel, Yisroel Where have you been all these years? I’ve been awaiting your return, Come home let me dry off your tears. I recall as a young bride How you were faithful and true, But since then you’ve wandered to strangers Who tried to make traitors of you. Don’t you be fooled by their lies Their only aim is to lure you away from me. Won’t you believe that it’s true - I’m the only one for you. How long, till when Will you endure all their scorns? Though you’ve been beaten by wind and rain You still are a rose among thorns. Battered crown, tattered gown Your garments are covered with mud, Still you continue to wander Though the earth has been soaked with your blood. What are you hoping to find, Haven’t I given you all you could wish for ? Come back and we’ll start anew, I’ll be here waiting for you. Oh to behold your countenance Let the sound of your voice fill my palace, Only then, my dear one, Will you experience true happiness. Tell me it’s only a dream Tell me that your heart and your soul Are still here with me. Wake up and we’ll be together Yisroel vikudsha brich hu chad hu. Over HereOver here, over there, Hashem’s turly everywhere Up, up, down, down, right, left all around. East side, west side, all around the town That’s where Hashem can be found. Little KiteThe sky bright and clear, the wind’s blowing strong Winter has past now the sun is shining proud. What a glorious day to send up a kite To dance and to soar high over the clouds. Through the traffic and noises, I ran to the park An island surrounded with castles of stone. With my kite and a spool of clear plastic line, We journey together a long way from home. Chorus: Little kite tell me for I cannot fly, Can you see distant oceans and mountains so high? But most of all tell me, for I cannot see, Is there G-d in heaven, does He know of me?
Riding the wind like an angel in flight. So far away now just a speck in the sky Reaching the heaven it vanished from sight. Chorus: Well someone passed by and looked at me strange, He asked me, “What you’re doing on this day so fair? Flying a kite, well how could that be? Can’t you see little boy there’s nothing out there.” Little kite tell me why I’ve been so blind Using my eyes, oh, in place of my mind? For though I can’t see you I do understand, Your tuggin and pullin the sting in my hand. G-d is Alive and Well in JerusalemIf I ever get back to California I’m going to round up every Jew I’ve ever known. I’m going to sit them right down here in front of me, Take this guitar and sing them all this song: G-d is alive and well in Jerusalem People pray three times a day to Him Throw away the cars, the bars, the stocks ‘n bonds and up kept lawns Grab a boat, a plane, if need be swim. Some folks got a Lincoln Continental, With tinted glass so nobody sees in. Just one time I’d like to roll down their window And say: "You ain’t gonna fool the L-rd with this hunk of tin." G-d is alive and well in Jerusalem, yeah People pray three times a day to Him Throw away the cars, the bars, the stocks ‘n bonds and up kept lawns Grab a boat, a plane, if need be swim!"
