Shema |
He raised his hands to wave good bye, |
Saw the pain in mother’s eyes, |
She left her little precious boy of four, |
In a citadel of ash and stone, |
That preach a faith unlike his own, |
Perhaps he may yet survive this war. |
In the shadows, stood a man in black, |
«My child,"he said, «you must not look back.» |
Yet one image lingered, the tears on her face, |
Mothers words, and their last embrace. |
Chorus: |
Shema, Shema Yisroel. |
Know that there is but, but one G-d above! |
When you feel pain, when you rejoice, |
Know that He longs to hear your voice, |
Hashem Elokainu, Hashem Echad! |
Deep within the iron gate, |
Far from the stench of war and hate, |
He knew not of a world gone insane |
«You must believe"he was told, |
«Our faith alone can save your sole |
Please let us heal your wounds and ease your pain» |
He tried not to forget his past, his home, |
But he was so very young, and all alone. |
While visions of his Shtetl, so vivid and clear, |
began to fade and all but disappeared. |
Chorus |
The winds of war had finally past, |
One man took on a sacred task, |
To bring the scattered Jewish children home. |
He traveled far from place to place, |
A quest to reignite the faith |
Of those sent into hiding long ago. |
He entered the fortress gray and cold, |
«Your kind is not among us"he was told. |
«Hashem above,"he whispered, «Oh please don’t let me fail!» |
And he began to sing Shema Yisroel! |
