The Shabbos Candles

Shabbos - True Happiness
Shabbos - True Happiness
As I gaze unto the light,
Of the שבת Candles.
I see them slowly flickering.
As I look deep inside them,
I see the most wondrous things!

I see you,
Gazing, smiling, contently on me!
I see a world of truth and peace.
I see myself surrounded by friends and family.
I see the most wondrous things!

I see the גאולה,
It seems so very near.
I see the Rebbe,
Smiling upon me!
Oh’ I do see the most wondrous things!

As I bathe,
In the warm glow,
Of the light;
I feel so happy.
And I gaze upon my friends,
And smile.

I feel like a million,
On this Friday night!
Nothing can change it,
Because I have my light!

And then,
When they flicker out;
I do realize:
I don’t physically need them,
As long as they are inside of me,
Their message will last for eternity!!

It is then that I smile,
And laugh inside.
As I realize:
How lucky I am!

I have people who love me,
And want me only to grow.
And that’s when I get the courage,
To try again.

As I bathe,
In the warm glow,
Of the light;
I feel so happy.
And I gaze upon my friends
And smile.

I feel like a million,
On this Friday night!
Nothing can change it,
Because I have my light!

It is when I gaze unto my שבת lights,
That I do feel and see the most wondrous things!!
And they do last forever, forever and eternity!!
It’s MY שבת lights!!!
Yes, it is MY, My שבת lights!!!

He's Here!

T.T.T.O Niggun HaBaal Shem Tov
Sh! Listen!
Do you hear what I do?
I hear a shofar blast,
And it’s getting louder by the minute!

He’s finally here,
After so many years!
משיח צדקינו!
Let’s go greet him right away!

משיח צדקינו, welcome!
We’ve been waiting for you each and every day!
אברהם and יצחק, and יעקוב אבינו,
It’s a pleasure to finally meet you!

All of our loved ones,
Will come back to life.
Let us go right now,
To ירושלים הבנויה together!

Finally, after all these years of exile.
After all the bloodshed and persecution.
He’s finally arrived at our door.
Let’s all go now to the בית המקדש.

Let’s offer our thanks,
To the One Above,
For this beautiful miracle.
This time he has really shown his love!

Where Is It?!

T.T.T.O Ka'ayol Taarog
This world isn’t,
What I thought it would be.
Cruelty, death, gore, and persecution;
So much of it I do see.

There’s blood flowing,
In the words of our history past.
From the beginning of time,
We’ve been attacked.

Where’s the world of peace,
That’s been told of for so many years?
What will it take to get it,
Why do you want so many tears??

The world of perfection,
Is what I want to see.
Your שחינה should be coming down to earth.
I want משיח to be greeting me!!

Ever since the destruction
Of the בית המקדש,
Every word of redemption,
You just seem to hush.

Well, I’m sick of this exile.
I want it no more!
I want to be able to bring you קרבנות.
משיח, just walk through the front door!!

Where’s the world of peace,
That’s been told of for so many years?
What will it take to get it,
Why do you want so many tears??

The world of perfection,
Is what I want to see.
Your שחינה should be coming down to earth.
I want משיח to be greeting me!!
