Journeys Medley
Let me tell you about the world we're in Come listen my dear children For you could ask the question it ain't no sin Just how did the world begin Who made the darkness and the light A million stars to shine at night Got them all to work just right Had to be Hashem Had to be Hashem Made the oceans and the fish Candy bars and licorice All he did was make a wish Had to be Hashem Now that it's plain and clear to see I'd like you to all to join with me And get the whole world to agree How everything came to be Made the planets and the sky The valley's low and the mountains high And we'll look in the Torah it never lies Had to be Hashem Had to be Hashem
Who else could you ever find
Creates souls for all mankind And furnish them with thinking minds Oh it had to be Hashem It had to be Hashem {Music} The sun is going down it's shining through the trees Another weeks gone by become a memory So throw away your hammer there's nothing left to do Go on home and find the gift that's waiting there for you Oh, it's time to say good Shabbos cause all your work is done Gonna spend the day together with the Holy One Say a special blessing on a cup that's filled with wine Man and his creator it's a very special sign
You can spend time with your family
you'll study and you'll pray Why not wait till after Shabbos oh those nails won't run away So throw away your hammer there's nothing left to do Go on home and find the gift that's waiting there for you Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's time to say good Shabbos cause all your work is done Gonna spend the day together with the Holy One Say a special blessing on a cup that's filled with wine Man and his creator it's a very special sign {Music} The sky's bright and clear wind's blowing strong Winter has passed now the sun's shining proud What a glorious day to send up a kite To dance and to soar high over the clouds Through the traffic and noise I ran to the park An island surrounded with castles of stone With my kite and a spool of clear plastic line We journeyed together
a long way from home Little kite tell me for I can not fly Can you see distant oceans and mountains so high But most of all tell me for I cannot see Is there G-d in heaven does he know of me? Well someone passed by and looked at me strange He asked me what you doing on this day so fair Flying a kite well how could that be Can't you see little boy there's nothing up there Little kite tell me why I've been so blind Using my eyes in the place of my mind For though I can't see you I do understand You're tuggin' and pullin' the string in my hand You're tuggin' and pullin' the string in my hand {Music} We grew up together in New York City Oh how the time has flown by We were inseparable closer than brothers My best friend Sammy and I We'd play by the oak tree in back of my house Tossing a ball to and fro Each one of us dreaming pretending to be The great Joe DiMaggio One day we each bought a package of Topp's And opened them under the tree Look Sam I've got Jo DiMaggio's card
And he was so jealous of me I lovingly hid it deep inside my drawer Where it would be safe as can be And I vowed I would keep it forever and ever Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It was so precious to me It was so very precious to me I'd read in the papers from time to time Of events in the life of my friend He became Rosh Yeshiva of our old school And now was a leader of men But there was a fire that ravaged his school I knew it just might break his heart So I reached in my drawer and I said my goodbyes To the great Joe DiMaggio's card One day my grandson came home from Yeshiva Holding a card that was new 'Look Zeide, Reb Shmuel is one of the Gedolim And I'm giving his card to you' I lovingly hid it deep in my drawer Where it would be safe as can be And I vowed I would keep it forever and ever It is so precious to me …it is so very precious to me {Music} I'm a very tired old and worn out man
and my eyes have long been blind Most things that people say to me just seem to slip my mind Oh, but the suffering and painful times that were in years long gone Are still as clear upon my memory as the numbers on my arm What will become of all the memories Are they to scatter
with the dust in the breeze Who will stand before the world knowing what to say When the very last survivor fades away... What will become of all the memories Are they to scatter with the dust in the breeze And who will stand before a world that now wishes to deny Will they believe in someone who never heard the cries There is nothing I can say or do to make things change Time has a way of passing by so fast Like a fleeting shadow no one will recall The faces of the past What will become of all the memories Are they to scatter with the dust in the breeze Yet one thought gives me comfort that's all that I have left I know that G-d in heaven won't forget {Music} We danced round and round in circles as if the world had done no wrong From evening until morning filling up the Shul with song Though we had no Sifrei Torah to clutch close to our arms Instead we held those children Am Yisroel Chai We danced round and round in circles as if the world had done no wrong From evening until morning filling up the Shul with song Though we had no Sifrei Torah to clutch close to our arms Instead we held those children The Jewish people will live on The Jewish people will live on {Music} You had searched so long for the answers and the proof And they said you'll find it here with promises of truth But the long white robes and the chanting in the streets It left you cold your soul still had to seek What you're looking for is right there at your door Believe me when I tell you friend you couldn't ask for more What your heart has known is that there is no place like home So come on back oh, you'll never be alone Now you can stand up straight and tall because you're where you want to be No one had it strong as steel your faith has set you free And as you gaze up at that simple wall your hand up upon a stone You can say the journeys over I am home What you're looking for is right there at your door Believe me when I tell you friend you couldn't ask for more What your heart has known is that there is no place like home So come on back oh, you'll never be alone What you're looking for is right there at your door Believe me when I tell you friend you couldn't ask for more What your heart has known is that there is no place like home So come on back, I said, come on back oh, you'll never be alone No, no, never be alone No, no, never be alone!
