Star of David
For his fourteenth birthday, David, received a golden chain
With a golden Jewish star, encircling his name
He loved his Star of David, it meant so much to him
Around his neck he wore it always, even in the gym.
And whenever he looked down, he would see the golden star
That seemed to tell him, David remember who you are.
Sports he loved, but most of all
It was the roar of the crowd at the crack of the bat
When he hit that old baseball
In his senior year of high school
Was fulfilled his dream
When he received a scholorship to play for a college team.
Well university was different then back in S. Louis
It was so easy to forget what it meant to be a Jew.
When he’d look into the mirror he would see the Jewish star
That seemed to tell him remember who you are
Remember who you are, remember who you are.
The big league scouts were watching, they all came to see
David spark the team to success and on to victory
The championship was to be held out in L.A.
But it was scheduled for Yom Kippur day.
David was torn he didn’t know what to do
On Yom Kippur day the synagogue was the place, yes he knew.
Well he had a Jewish star and he had a Jewish name
But this was his chance for stardom and fame
Remember who you are, remember who you are.
The team ran out on the field the crowd rose to their feet
They were clapping David, it was him they’d come to greet
They clapped their hands and cheered until the game began
And away from the stadium a star called David ran
And clutched in his hand you could see a golden chain
A chain with a golden Jewish star encircling his name.
A star called David.
Do You Know
Do you know,
That Hashem loves you so.
You are to Him so deer
You got nothing but Him to fear
And He’s found everywhere,
Did you know?
Do you know,
That He made the rain and snow.
He makes the dear run fast
And He made the turtle slow
And He makes the river flow,
Did you know?
Chorus:
Do you know,
That Hashem is watching you.
And He knows what you’ve done
And what you will do soon,
And Hashem lives with you inside your room?
Do you know,
That Hashem makes us grow
Tall like me, or maybe four foot three,
It’s the way that Hashem wants us to be.
Do you know…
Do you know, do you know, did you know?
In a Small College Town
(T.T.T.O. Hashem Yishmarcha—Miami)
In a small college town
There is a young man feeling down
His future an uncertainty
Oh, what will become of me?
A Chabad House is nearby
The young man gives it a try,
Directions maybe here I’ll find
And have peace of mind.
He discusses Yiddishkeit
All through the night
But he cries, I don’t belong
I am too far gone.
The Shliach says, not true
Hagam shechoto Yisroel hu
No matter where you may roam
You can always come back home.
Davening and Learning Starting Each Day
Davening and learning starting each day
In shul, amongst his friends, yearning to stay,
Downtown he must go, amongst the people who
Identify him simply as a Jew.
Mitzvos to him precious as a gem,
Lunch alone, he cannot sit with them
Taking time for Mincha, ignoring all that’s said
Meetings with a kippah on his head.
Five p.m. returning home, completely unaware,
An impact made on everybody there
A Jew is always close to G-d, he proved to them
An everlasting Kiddush Hashem.
A Young Prince is Sent
To a far land, a young prince is sent
A land so strange and distant
In order that he may test his only son
The king orders this done.
In this strange place, our prince does roam
How he wishes to go home
Oh, this country is so empty, so base
How many trials I face.
The King is our Father Above
Who, in order to prove our love
Tells us that descend we must
To this lonely world of dust.
The son is every Jewish soul
By withstanding temptation below
He’ll nachas to his father send
And bring our Golus to its end.
Marching Forth with Noble Pride
(T.T.T.O. Nigun Simcha—Nichoach vol. 12)
Marching forth with noble pride
Growing with each stride
We are the men, the servants of Hashem
Illuminating darkness is our holy goal.
From slaves in Egypt land
Led by His mighty hand
To Sinai we came, and did proclaim
Do, then understand.
The commandments of our King
Still in our ears do ring
Ki li binei Yisroel avodim.
By following the Rebbe’s words, as servants to a master
We will end our sad history.
To bring Moshiach Tzidkeinu a little bit faster
And with him, our victory.
Birthdays and Jewish Names Happy Birthday
The long awaited cry
Fills the delivery room
To the nurses standing around
It’s the old familiar tune.
But to a mother young and proud
It’s not another boy or girl
It’s a new born Jewish child
It’s a gift for all of the world.
Chorus:
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday,
That special child means you too
It’s your birthday.
It’s that one and only day
When your luck stands so strong
Like when Rosh Hashonoh comes
We separate right from wrong.
We look back at the passing year
And all the good things we’ve achieved
And decide from here and on
It’s only gonna be good deeds.
Chorus:
So the next time your birthday arrives
Thank G-d for giving you life,
Learn Torah a little more
And give tzedokah to the poor.
Invitations to your party send
To all your family and friends,
Please come and join with me
A celebration it’s gonna be.
