Just One Shabbos |
Western Wall on Friday night, first time ever there. |
Strapped into his knapsack, with his long and curly hair. |
He stood there for a while, then broke out with a smile, |
Emotion, overwhelming joy, with tears. |
The men were dancing there, their hearts so full of love |
Sang such happy tunes, to thank the One Above |
For showing them the way, for giving them a day |
Rest, rejoice, with peace of mind, to pray |
Chorus: |
Just one Shabbos, and we’ll all be free |
Just one Shabbos, come and join with me |
We’ll sing and dance to the sky |
With our spirits so high |
We will show them all, it’s true |
Let them come and join us, too |
I said, hello, my friend, you seem to be amused |
He said, much more than that, I am a bit confused |
I know I am a Jew, I was Bar Mitzvah too |
But Shabbos, in our home, who ever knew |
He asked to join with us, to understand and see |
He spent some time with us, in total ecstasy |
Next Shabbos came along, his feelings grew so strong |
He first began to feel, that he belonged |
(Chorus) |
He found his treasure, made some changes in his life |
A brand-new family, his children and his wife |
They learn new things each day, to live the Torah way |
The message of the Shabbos, they will relate |
Now, every Friday night, they go down to the Wall |
Invite some people ‘round, and they will tell them all |
We’ll teach them this new song, to join and sing along |
Soon we’ll all be free, it won’t be long |
