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!
