Mi Shema'amin - Benny Friedman
Single

(Chorus:)

מי שמאמין לא מפחד
את האמונה לאבד
ולנו יש את מלך העולם
והוא שומר אותנו מכולם

בכל מקום, כל הזמן
יש לכולנו מגדול ועד קטן
ימים יפים, וגם פחות
וביניהם תשובה לכל השאלות

יש אלוהים אחד גדול
הוא בעולם הזה נותן לנו הכל
בין אפלה לקרן אור
את הנתיב אנחנו רק צריכים לבחור

וזה ידוע החיים הם מתנה
הכל צפוי והרשות נתונה

(Chorus:)

העם הזה הוא משפחה
אחד ועוד אחד זה סוד ההצלחה
עם ישראל לא יוותר
תמיד על המפה אנחנו נשאר

וזה ידוע חיים הם מתנה
הכל צפוי והרשות נתונה

(Chorus:)

אנחנו מאמינים בני מאמינים
ואין לנו על מי להישען
אלא, אלא על אבינו
אבינו שבשמים

(Chorus:)

The Promise - Chaim Fogelman
Footsteps

Close your eyes

And visualize

What will be when Moshiach will come

The sun will shine

All the time

Oh, that will be when Moshiach will come

The whole world will live in perfect harmony

Together as one big happy family

Guns and swords, they won’t be found

They’ll be used to plow the ground

Army planes and army tanks, you see

Oh, they’ll be part of history

No more will there be any war

No more will there be any war

(Chorus:)
And I promise you, Moshiach will come

And when he does he will take everyone

Just open your eyes what a big surprise

We’re in Jerusalem!

Walking down the street

Diamonds at your feet

See the lions living with the sheep

The world is filled with integrity

Oh, what a time and place for one to be

All the sick are healed, once Hashem’s revealed

And in a flash of an eye, all this will be real

(Chorus:)

The Chosen - Chaim Fogelman
Footsteps

(Submitted by a gracious reader)

Do you know who are the Jews?

They are the people that Hashem did chose

To love and cherish, to call His Own

Jews are people who are never alone

Jews are people who are never alone

And every single Jew

No matter what he does

No matter where he’s going

Or even where he was

Hashem loves him so

That’s just the way it is

Like moms and dads

Who love their kids

Like moms and dads

Who love their kids

So do you know who are the Jews?

They are the people that Hashem did chose

To love and cherish, to call His Own

Jews are people who are never alone

Jews are people who are never alone

Mom and dad know what’s good for you

So did Hashem give us Mitzvos to do

And each and every time a Mitzvah is done

You show the world you’re the chosen one

You show the world you’re the chosen one

So now you know who are the Jews

They are the people that Hashem did chose

To love and cherish, to call His Own

Jews are people who are never alone

Jews are people who are never alone

Mom and dad know what’s good for you

So did Hashem give us Mitzvos to do

And each and every time a Mitzvah is done

You show the world you’re the chosen one

You show the world you’re the chosen one

Let’s show the world we’re the chosen ones

Let’s show the world we’re the chosen ones

Please join along

Sing my song

Moshiach is coming and it wont be long

So clap your hands

And tap your feet

Moshiach is coming, we’ll be dancing in the street

(Chorus:)
Ooh le le, ooh le lei,

Moshiach is coming and he’s coming to stay

Ooh le le, ooh le lei,

Moshiach is coming and he’s coming to stay

It’s in the air

It’s everywhere

Moshiach is coming

Let’s break out a cheer

(Chorus:)

So clap your hands

And tap your feet

When you hear the news your heart will beat

It’s everywhere

It’s on billboard signs

I read about Moshiach in the New York Times

(Chorus:)

Mexico - Chaim Fogelman
Footsteps

(Submitted by a gracious reader)

Have you heard the story about the man?

To go to Mexico was his plan

He saved all his money the entire year

So he could pay for the plane fare

But when the day for his trip finally came

He broke his leg and he missed the plane

He was sent to the hospital for the day

While his plane took off on the runway

Try as he could he failed to see

Why G-d did this to me?

All my saving and spending has been in vain

If someone could explain

Now, watching TV that very same day

The news interrupted, and began to say

“A terrible crash happened today,

A plane to Mexico was blown away.”

And as the news went on it came to light

Yes, indeed, that was his flight

He thanked Hashem right there in his bed

For saving his life by breaking his leg

(Chorus:)
Thank Hashem wherever you go

Thank Hashem because you know

Whatever He does is for the good

Thank Hashem as much as you could

Like the waves that roll upon the shore

All you see is water and nothing more

But down below you’ll explore

A whole big world on the ocean floor

So now that we all can see

The world is not the way it seems to be

When you’re feeling down and ready to fall

Remember there’s reasons for it all

(Chorus:)

Look Around - Chaim Fogelman
Footsteps

(Submitted by a gracious reader)

Look around, now what do you see?

Haven’t you wondered how it all came to be?

The stars in the sky, the moon and the sun

Haven’t you wondered where they all came from?

(Chorus:)
It all became because Hashem wanted so

People in the world, about Hashem they should know

Ten words that He spoke, that’s all that was done

From nothing at all, the world did become

Let there be light, and then there was light

He then created the darkness of night

And much more than that, Hashem must always do

He creates the world constantly and makes it brand new

(Chorus:)

Let’s make a man on earth down below

To show the world the way to live, the way the world should go

Seven commandments to the world Hashem did give

To make the world a better place for everyone to live

(Chorus:)

Happy Birthday - Chaim Fogelman
Footsteps

(Submitted by a gracious reader) 

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 newborn Jewish child

A gift for all of the world

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 Hashana comes

We separate right from wrong

We look back at the passing year

On all the good things we’ve achieved

And decide from here and on

It’s only gonna be good deeds

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday

It’s Rosh Hashana for you

It’s your birthday

So the next time your birthday arrives

Thank G-d for giving you life

Learn torah a little more

And give tzedakah to the poor

Invitations for your party send

To all your family and your friends

Please come and join with me

A celebration it’s gonna be

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday

A celebration for you

It’s your birthday

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday

It’s Rosh Hashana for you

It’s your birthday

That special child means you too

It’s your birthday

How old are you now?

Happy birthday

We wish you a very happy birthday!

Hakhel - Chaim Fogelman
Footsteps

(Submitted by a gracious reader) 

They packed their bags, took some stuff and got on horse and wagons

Going to the Bais Hamikdash in Yerushalyim

There they saw the king stand upon a wooden stage

As from the Torah he read, and this is what he said

(Chorus:)
“Listen, folks, what’s written here is all that I will say

Our holy Torah and the Mitzvos we must all obey.

Love Hashem and be good,” the king called out,

“To fear Hashem is what this gathering’s all about.”

Now every year, after Shmitah, again and again

When the king would read, it would be, oh, as if from Hashem

Mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, all came there

In the Hakhel year, everybody came to hear

(Chorus:)

Now that we’ve got no Mikdash and we’re all alone

In every country throughout the world all the Jews do roam

Let’s not forget what they did then and do the same today

Gather all your friends, and this is what you’ll say

(Chorus:)

Do You Know - Chaim Fogelman
Footsteps

(Submitted by a gracious reader)

Do you know?

That Hashem loves you so

You are to Him so dear

You have nothing but Him to fear

And He’s found everywhere

Did you know?

Do you know?

That He made the rain and snow

He made the deer run fast

And He made the turtle slow

And He makes the rivers flow

Do you know?

(Chorus:)

Do you know that Hashem is (always) 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

(Chorus:)

Do you know?

Do you know?

Did you know?

Tracht Gut - Eighth Day
8'th Day Live

Music, music

Music dancing

Music, she danced me away

He said, tracht gut vet zein gut

I met a little girl who had no hair

She said, tracht gut vet zein gut

(Chorus:)

Tracht gut vet zein gut

Tracht gut vet zein gut

Tracht gut vet zein gut to me

So if you want to come along and dance with me

Say, tracht gut vet zein gut

And if you want to come along and sing with me

Say, tracht gut vet zein gut

(Chorus:)
