My Fellow Jew - Avraham Fried
G-d smiled in heaven
But His joy was not complete
The angels were singing
But their song had no wings
The world was freshly painted
Yet the sky was feeling blue
Something, something just wasn’t right
Then with you came a G-dly light
That made the world complete
You gave the world its heart
You gave the world its soul
Now G-d can call this place his home
For now there was you
My brother, my fellow Jew
Chorus:
So with all my heart and soul
Let me honor you
A gentle people with a faith of steel
You teach the world
How to live and how to give and how to believe
If I could look into your heart
I would see the face of G-d
You have weathered all the storms
They’ve all come and gone
You are the unsung heroes of the world
And you were born of ancient days
And you will go on and on
I’ve seen miracles before
But the greatest of them all is you my fellow Jew
Who can count the teardrops
That have fallen from your eyes
And who would dare to measure
The pain that you have known
Yet here you are undaunted with a mission and a dream
You carry on when hope is gone
All that you live for will come true
And so when at times I’m feeling weak
It’s you who makes me strong
And when at times I cannot speak
You become my song
I know I can do the impossible
When I think of you
My brother, my fellow Jew
