Smile - Eighth Day
Chasing Prophecy

We’ve been to the east to the north to the south, and now we own the west
We tell your tales, and we sing your scales and we try to do our best.
There is nothing wrong and we’ve beat king kong and we’re waiting at your door.

What can we do that we haven’t done before?

What can we do to put a smile on your face.

With our buttons shined and our boots looking fine
We’re waiting for your call.
From the Temple times, to these hopeless rhythms you still want something more
With your eye on the ball, they say you can’t fall
If you're laying on the ground, so what can we do to turn it around.

 
What can we do to put a smile on your face.

Avraham - Eighth Day
Chasing Prophecy

Sitting in the hot dessert sun, you’ve been told you’d be on the run
Down to egypt to pharaoh’s town, to Rome and Spain and many other lands
But you opened your doors to tired men, to lonely passersby and angels from heaven
Your kindness and your care were known far and wide, father of a nation your soul is alive.

(Chorus:)
Avraham are we the children that you dreamed of?
Are we the shining stars you saw at night?
You know its true, we still call you avinu
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.

You’ve been through every test, now look a small shul in the mid west
A child was born just the other day, and all those gathered there heard his mother say
Although its been three thousand years, and we’ve been fighting back all the tears
One man’s lullaby a nation will survive, father of our people your dream is alive.

(Chorus:)

Your courage and your might, kept the pharaohs up at night
No hand could hold you, no stranger would forget you.

Avraham yes we’re the children that you dreamed of
And we’re the shining stars you saw at night
You know its true, it’s why we call you avinu
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.

Emosai - Eighth Day
Chasing Prophecy

Emosai ko'osi mar, ko'osi mar lich'she'yafutzu

Wherever we go, people want to know
Whose words are we preaching, whose story we teaching.
Whatever the show, people want to know
How to inspire, with holy desire
Where ever we go, people want to know
Whose hopes are we reaching, whose dream are we dreaming.
Whatever the show, people want to know
How to inspire, to take us all higher.

So we tell them, the holy ba’al shem (der heiliger ba'al shem)
So we tell them, there is only One in heaven.
So we tell them, you have a holy heart
So we tell them, he knew it from the start

Mama Rochel - Abie Rotenberg/Yaakov Shwekey 

Journeys Volume 3

(Submitted by: http://nechamsblog.blogspot.com)

With the rising sun, on her wedding day,

She raised her eyes to the Heavens,

And she thanked Hashem, for the man of truth
With whom she would build a nation.

But with nightfall came, Destiny betrayed,

The veil concealing another.

Yet her sisters shame, not her shattered dreams,

Took hold of her heart and her senses.

(Chorus:)
Mama Rochel, cry for us again,

Won’t you shed a tear for your dear children?
If you raise your sweet voice now as then the day will come

Mama Rochel, cry for us again,

Won’t you shed a tear for your dear children?
Bi’zchutaich v'shavu vonim lig’vulom

In a roadside grave she was laid to rest
In solitude, forever
But her voice gave hope to the broken hearts
Of her daughters and sons bound for exile

When her plaintive cry gained divine consent
A challenge to her Maker
Can the mercy of, mere flesh and blood
Run deeper than Yours, our Creator?

(Chorus:)

Now your voice is still, as you heed the call
Of m’mi kolaich mi’bechi
It’s our Father’s will, He who made us all
Dare we ask of you to defy Him?

Yet a frightened child, numb from pain and grief
Remains forlorn and uncertain
Clinging to the faith that it can be heard
As it cries out to its mother

Mama Mama vain noch amol
Treren zoltz du gissen un a tzohl
Beten fun Bashefer In Himmel, b’kol rom

Mama Mama vain noch amol
Tzeren zoltz du gissen un a tzohl
Bi’zchuseich v’shavu vonim li’gvulom

Rochel Imeinu s’ee kolaich
Shuv shifchi kamayim dimataich
B’chim nah al banim asher galu v’al sivlam

Rochel Imeinu s’ee kolaich
Shuv shifchi dimah lifnei Konaich
Bi’zchuseich v’shavu vonim li’gvulom

Mama Rochel cry for us again
Won’t you shed a tear for your dear children?
If you raise your sweet voice now as then the day will come

Mama Mama cry for us again
Won’t you shed a tear for your dear children?
Bi’zchutaich v'shavu vonim lig’vulom

Candle Of Freedom- Jeff Braverman & Jonathan Rimberg
Shoresh

(By request)

A great miracle happened in a far away ancient land
Brave warriors, the Macabees decided to take a stand
And fought heir fight with passion for their cause was a righteous one
That their people should be respected 'till the last battle was won

Chorus:
Light the candle of freedom, light the candle of hope
illuminating generations, let every boy and girl know
That once there was a people who fought for the right to be free
And this is what Chanukah means to me

When the battle was over and the war was won
The people gathered to give thanks for all that G-d had done
But the Temple was in ruins, only one tiny candle remained
But miraculously that flame burned for eight nights and days

Chorus:

Nes Gadol Haya Sham
There are miracles in our lifetime, can be hard for us to see
May be tough to handle but look at those candles and you just gotta believe

Chorus: 

Moishe'le Neshama'le - Lipa Schmeltzer

(By request)

Bisyata Dishmaya
I’m writing a letter to you
Sweet little Moishe’le
You were the only one to survive
In India in Mumbai
On that terrifying day
Sweet little Moishe’le
I’m so glad you’re alive

איך אפשר להסביר לך

המצב של כולנו כשזה קרה

כמה אנחנו דאגנו בעבורך

כשיצאת מהגיהנום

הדמעות בענים הפסיקו פתאום

והתחיל שוב כשלא ראינו אביך ואמך

אי אפשר לתאר הכאב שלך משלה נשמה

אבינו רוענו ראה דמע של משלה נשמה

ילד קטן אבל כל כך גדול

ביום המר אבד את הכל

חוץ מאמונה משהלה נשמה

משל'ה ווען די גייסט דעם בריוו קענן ליינען

וועט דיר זיין שווער צו פארשטיין וויפיל מיר האבען געטון מיטוויינען

טראכטענדיג

אויף צוריק

זיך פארשטעלנדיג

דעם לעצטן קוק

פון דיין טאטע מאמע

משל'ה נשמה

משל'ה אויב די מיינסט

אז ווען פיל מאהל די וויינסט

זיסע משל'ה אז קיינער וויינט נישט מיט דיר

וויל איך די זאלסט פארשטיין

אז יעדער פון פלייש און ביין

ליבער משל'ה

דיין ווייטאג שפירט

We have lost so many throughout the years
Yidish blit shed with tears
And from all we can remember
there aren’t many like him
To see tatty and mommy and look at them
איך שנהרגו על קידוש השם
But you little Moishe saw so clearly the yad eloikim

משל'ה קשה לי מאד לכתוב לך מכתב

איך להרגיע עכשיו ילד בלי אם ואב

איין זאך זאלסטו האבען אינזינען

אז טאטי מאמי זהען די טרערן רינען

און זיי דאוונען אז די זאלסט האבען א נחמה

און זיי זאגן משל'ה מיר האבען געשריגען שמע ישראל מיט טרערליך

און מיר בעטן און דעם זכות האלט אן אונזער וועג גאר ערליך

מיט גאנץ כלל ישראל וואס איז געווארען דיין משפחה

האלט דיר פעסט בעמק הבכה

טייער קינד משל'ה נשמה
