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.'
