(Kol Isha)
Geulah Song (Instrumental track: “Disenchanted” by My Chemical Romance)
Well I was born in a place so far removed from the scene
Where generations ago, we knew we’re all meant to be.
I know one day we’ll come home,
But it’s hard to feel what that means.
We lost our way in the exile, distorted Your call.
We are content just to visit and to pray at the Wall.
We forgot what we’re missing,
And that’s the saddest part of all.
Oh, ohhh…
We don’t belong
Out in the darkness, so come on…
How could You leave us with hope almost gone,
You know we haven’t worn out everything….
We’re still the same ones we were back then,
The ones You took out of Egypt, gave the Torah, and then
We fell again and again, but You never let it be the end.
Fast forward past the crusades, the persecution and war,
Through the shadows of history to when we were born….
Our generation is aching, but most of us don’t know what for.
Oh, ohhh…
Please take us home.
Don’t leave us out here all alone.
We want to come back to You, but You know
That we cannot do it on our own.
Hashiveinu eilecha
V’nashuva
Chadesh yameinu k’kedem.
Yibaneh HaMikdash.
You’re still the same One Who loved us before.
From our earliest days, now and forevermore.
Bring all the pain to an end.
Don’t make us hurt again.
Ki va, ki va, ki va moed!
Please, God, we’re begging You, and
Yehi Ratzon milfanecha - make us part of Your plan.
Chadesh yameinu k’kedem,
Bring us back to our land.
Please, God, we’re looking to You.
Help us do what is righteous and true.
Bring all creation full circle,
All that we want is You.
