Someday
Album: 1998- The English Collection
They learned in a dark, frigid cellar
Alone, just a small group of men
When in rushed the soldiers
And led them all away
The flame of Torah flickered on that day
So many tears, so much sorrow
The pain has lasted thousands of years
But soon we'll stop crying
The cruelty will end
And Melech HaMoshiach will descend
Chorus:
Someday we will all be together
Someday we'll be sheltered and warm
Never will we have to express any fear
Our scars and our wounds will disappear
Avraham and Yitzchok will be there to greet us
Yaakov and his sons will stand by and smile
Moshe Rabbeinu will lead us once again
To Yerushalayim Be'ezras Hashem
We learn every day and we daven
We ask Hashem please bring those old times back
I know that You're listening
He always does it's true
For i received His promise
So have you
That Hashem will lead us out of this Galus
It can't be too much longer, you know why
And then together we're all gonna daven
Together we're all gonna sing
And say "Thank you Hashem for everything!"
Chorus...

Someday We'll be Together
Artist: Mordechai Ben David
Album: The english collection
They learned in a dark frigid cellar,
Alone, just a small group of men.
When in rushed the soldiers, and led them all away,
The flame of Torah flickered on that day.
So many tears, so much sorrow,
The pain has lasted for thousands of years.
But soon we'll stop crying, the cruelty will end,
The Melech HaMoshiach will descend.
Someday we will all be together,
Someday we'll be sheltered and warm.
Never will we have to express any fear,
Our scars and our wounds will disappear.
Avraham and Yitzchok will be there to greet us,
Yaakov and his sons will stand by and smile.
Moshe Rabeinu will lead us once again,
In Yerushalaim, B'Ezras Hashem.
We learn every day and we dave,
We ask Hashem, please bring those old time back.
We all know that you're listening, of course we know its true,
I've received a promise, so have you.
That Hashem will lead us out of this golus,
We can't take too much longer, you know why.
And then together we will daven, together we'll all sing,
We're gonna priase, 'Thank you Hashem, for everything.'
Someday we will all be together,
Someday we'll be sheltered and warm.
Never will we have to express any fear,
Our scars and our wounds will disappear.
Avraham and Yitzchok will be there to greet us,
Yaakov and his sons will stand by and smile.
Moshe Rabeinu will lead us once again,
In Yerushalaim, B'Ezras Hashem.

Yerushlaim is not for sale
Artist: Mordechai Ben David
Album: Jerusalem is Not for Sale
Overnight - a massive construction,
On top of Jerusalem mountains.
At campus luring innocent souls,
To drink from the forbidden fountain.
Like many before,
They've come here for war,
We're warning them now; It won't pay.
Jerusalem - her holiness crying,
Defiling her dearest location,
Politics blinding sense of pride.
Are we not the Chosen Nation?
Together as one,
We will overcome,
Bringing her freedom today.
Yerusholaim is not for sale,
Voices crying,
Thundering throughout our cities.
You better run for your life,
Back to Utah overnight,
Before the mountain top opens wide,
And swallows you inside.
Yerusholaim your foes will fail,
Senseless trying.
He's guarding his holy city,
He's punishing all its intruders so awfully.
They have perished, tier names are history.
The wars, the pain,
Brought masses returning,
Back to their roots more than ever.
The leftists fiercely fighting truth,
To dampen the sparks still burning.
So wake up my friend,
This is the very end,
The arrows are pointing our way!
Yerusholaim is not for sale,
Voices crying,
Thundering throughout our cities.
You better run for your life,
Back to Utah overnight,
Before the mountain top opens wide,
And swallows you inside.
Yerusholaim your foes will fail,
Senseless trying.
He's guarding his holy city,
He's punishing all its intruders so awfully.
They have perished, tier names are history.
Yerushamaim is not for sale...

Just One Shabbos
Artist: Mordechai Ben David
Album: Just one Shabbos
Western wall on Friday night, first time ever there,
Strapped into his knapsack, with his long and curly hair.
He stood there for a while, then broke out with a smile,
Emotion, overwhelming joy, with tears.
The men were standing there, their hearts so full of love,
Sang such happy tunes, to thank the one above.
For showing them the way, for giving them a day,
Rest, rejoice, with peace of mind, to pray.
Just one Shabbos, and we'll all be free,
Just one Shabbos, come and join with me.
We'll sing and dance to the sky,
With our spirits so high.
We will show them all it's true,
Let them come and join us too.
i said, 'Hello, my friend, you seem to be amused.'
He said, 'Much more than that, I am a bit confused.
I know I am a Jew, I was Bar Mitzvah too,
But Shabbos in our home, who ever knew.'
He asked to join with us, to understand and see,
He spent some time with us, in total ectasy.
Next Shabbos came along, his feelings grew so strong,
He first began to feel, that he belonged.
Just one Shabbos, and we'll all be free,
Just one Shabbos, come and join with me.
We'll sing and dance to the sky,
With our spirits so high.
We will show them all it's true,
Let them come and join us too.
He found his treasure, made some changes in his life,
A brand new family, his children and his wife.
They learn new things each day, to live the Torah way,
The message of the Shabbos, they will relate.
Now, every Friday night, they go down to the wall,
Invite some people home, and they will tell them all,
We'll teach them this new song, to join and sing along,
Soon we'll all be free, it won't be long.
I promise you!
Just one Shabbos, and we'll all be free,
Just one Shabbos, come and join with me.
We'll sing and dance to the sky,
With our spirits so high.
We will show them all it's true,
Let them come and join us too.

Daddy Dear
Artist: Mordechai Ben David
Album: The English Collection
'Daddy dear, tell me please, is it true what they say,
In the heaven there's a cup that gets fuller each day.
And i've heard that Hashem keeps it close near by,
And he fills if with his tears each time that we cry?
Zaidy told me, daddy dear, did he tell you the same,
That when sorrow strikes his people, Hashem feels the pain?
Tell me why does he cry far away in the sky?
Tell me why, daddy dear, are there tears in your eyes?'
'Little one, little one, it is true, yes it's true,
Zaidy told me years ago and his dad told him too.
Fathers cry for their children and Hashem does the same,
When we're hurt, so is he. Yes, he feels all the pain.
Tears of pity, in this cup, sadly flows,
Till one day when it's full, all our troubles will go.
We will dance, we will fly in the sky like the birds,
And I cry little one 'cause I'm touched by your words.'
'One more question, Daddy dear, answer please if you will,
Just how deep is this cup, tell me when will it fill?
Don't you think it is time that the sun forever shines?
Don't you think it is time dear daddy of mine?'
'Little one, it is time and I've questioned that too,
So let's ask him together me and you.'
"Father dear, do you hear our worries, our fears?
Will your eyes ever dry, is your cup filled with tears?"

Neshome'le
Artist: Abie Rottenberg and Mordechai Ben David
Album: Journeys 2 and The double album
'Come with me, little Neshome'le, let me hold you in my hand,
And we'll fly away, you and I together, to a place down on the land.'
'Come with me, little Neshome'le, don't shy away, do as you're told,
There's a child waiting to be born today, you're to be his spark, his soul.'
'But dear Malach'l. No! I don't want to go,
There's so much paon and evil on the earth below.
Let me stay here up in heaven where it's safe and i'll be pure,
Please don't make go away, can't you see i'm so afraid.'
'Come with me, little Neshome'le, it's time you faced your destiny,
And as we fly beneath the clouds now, I will show you, there is so much you can be.'
'Yes, dear Malach'l, I can see kedusha over there,
Look, someone's learning Torah, and there's another deep in prayer.
I will stay here if you answer me, it's all i need to know,
You must promise me dear friend, that I too will be like them.'
'Come with me little Neshome'le, oh, it's a task that I must do,
As I tap you on the lip you will forget me, you're on your own, it's up to you.'
'Come with me, little Neshome'le, let me hold you in my hand,
And we'll fly away, you and I together, to a place above the land.'
'But dear Malach'l, no! I don't want to go,
I'm not ready to go with you, where you take me I don't know.
Let me stay right here where I am, there's so much more I need to do,
Please don't make me go away, can't you see I'm so afraid.'
'Come with me, little Neshome'le, i've only come to take you home,
There's no need to fear your destination, you've earned a place right by the throne.'
(together) 'A place right by the throne.'

Miracles
Artist: Mordechai Ben David
Album: The Double Album
Do you stop and wonder,
What's going on,
Can you remember those happy days,
Where have they gone?
Life goes by fast,
Nothing seems to last.
People feel the squeeze is on,
it's really a shame.
Can you hear the thunder,
Can you feel the pain?
So many tragedies, disasters,
So insane.
There seems to be no end,
To this terrifying trend.
And everyone you talk to,
Feels the same.
But many happy days are coming now,
So won't you listen to me.
We'll be singing, dancing, laughing,
Everybody you wait and see.
Miracles amazing wonders,
Like no one's ever seen before,
It's finally that magic moment,
We have all been waiting for.
The senseless hating,
Who knows why?
When there is so much good to see,
Shouldn't we try?
Rather than neglect,
Just admire and respect.
Must we feel like strangers,
When we really are one?
It's so irritating,
Like a thorny rose.
A generation all confused,
Where everything goes,
Where right and wrong's the same
Even sin has lost it's shame
Perhaps the final chapter's just begun.
But many happy days are coming now,
So won't you listen to me.
We'll be singing, dancing, laughing,
Everybody you wait and see.
Miracles amazing wonders,
Like no one's ever seen before,
It's finally that magic moment,
We have all been waiting for.
There's no denying,
The feeling's low.
Feel the pressure,
Got the blues.
What do you know,
We seek a helping hand,
Its so hard to understand.
How can life turn so vicious,
So absurd and unfair?
We were millions dying,
In camps of gas.
While all the nations of the world,
Just let it pass.
Despite the rage of tears,
We have suffered all these years,
Never we'll surrender to despair.
But many happy days are coming now,
So won't you listen to me.
We'll be singing, dancing, laughing,
Everybody you wait and see.
Miracles amazing wonders,
Like no one's ever seen before,
It's finally that magic moment,
We have all been waiting for.
Yerushalaim our home
Artist: Mordechai Ben David
Album: L'kovod Yom Tov
In a village near our home,
Works a carpenter alone.
He's been carving wood for years,
Shtenders shelves and chairs.
Daily buyers come and go,
But there is one thing they don't know,
His thoughts so far away,
While waiting for a special day.
(Yes,) There is a dream a vision deep within his heart,
That he'll rebuild the Bais Hamikdosh part by part.
Doing Mizvos adding precious stones,
Our dream our palace, Yerushalaim our home. (x 2)
In a crumbling little home,
Lives a a fiddler all alone,
His inheritance so dear,
Foe many ancient years.
It's this instrument he holds,
His great-grandfather he's told,
Would hurry up each day,
To the courtyard of Hashem to play.
(Yes,) There is a dream a vision deep within his heart,
That he'll rebuild the Bais Hamikdosh part by part.
Doing Mizvos adding precious stones,
Our dream our palace, Yerushalaim our home. (x 2)
On a mountain on a stone,
Sits Moshiach all alone,
Suffering for years,
For all the sins he hears.
While so painfully he cries,
Prayers piercing through the skies,
He's pleading to Hashem,
To take us all back home again.
(Yes,) There is a dream a vision deep within his heart,
That we'll rebuild the Bais Hamikdosh part by part.
Doing Mizvos adding precious stones,
Our dream our palace, Yerushalaim our home. (x 2)
Ani ma'amin (x 2)
