He raised his hand to wave goodbye

Saw the pain in mother’s eyes

Who left her little precious boy of four

In a citadel of ashen stone

That preached a faith unlike his ow

Perhaps he may just yet survive this war



In the shadows stood a man in black

My child he said, you must not look back

Yet one image lingered, the tears on her face

And mother’s words from their last embrace



Chorus:

Shema, shema israel

Know that there is but one g-d above

When you feel pain, when you rejoice

Know how he longs to hear your voice

Hashem elokeinu, hashem echad



Deep within the iron gate

Far from the stench of war and hate

He knew not of a world gone insane

You must believe us, he was told

Our faith alone can save your soul

Please let us heal your wounds and ease your pain

He tried not to forget his past, his home

But he was so very young and all alone

While visions of his shtetl, so vivid and clear

Began to fade, and all but disappeared



Chorus:

Shema, shema israel

Know that there is but one g-d above

When you fel pain, when you rejoice

Know how he longs to hear you voice

Hashem elokeinu, hashem echad



The winds of war had finally passed

One man took on a sacred task

To bring the scattered jewish children home

He travelled far, from place to place

A quest to reignite the faith

Of those sent into hiding long ago



He entered the fortress grey and cold

Your kind is not among us, he was told

Hashem above, he whispered, please don’t let me fail

As he began to sing shema israel



Chorus:

Shema, shema israel

Know that there is but one g-d above

When you feel pain, when you rejoice

Know how he longs to hear your voice

Hashem elokeinu, hashem echad



Shema, shema israel

Know that there is but one g-d above

When you feel pain, when you rejoice

Know how he longs to hear your voice

Hashem elokeinu, hashem echad
