Jewish Lyrics

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:)
