BABY SHALHEVET- Avraham Fried- Written by Avraham Fried & Rabbi Manis Friedman- Live In Israel Concert (’09)

—————————————————————————————–
Too young to walk,
You went further than us all
And though you never said a word
You said more than words can say
The sweet fragrance of Gan Eden
Was still fresh upon your skin,
The angels cried,
Oh, the day you died
The day your flame lit up the skies, ohhhh.
—————————————————————————————–
CHORUS:
Oh baby Shalhevet, there’s fire in your name
Without you, there’s an emptiness
We are wicks without a flame
You left this world a tiny babe
But to me you’re so much more
You’re the giant heart of sacrifice
That will open heaven’s door.
You left this world a tiny babe
But to me you’re so much more
You’re the giant heart of sacrifice
That will open heaven’s door.

This holy place,
Where our Jewish soul was born
And David’s melodies still ring from every stone
By the cave that holds our history, and where every Jew’s at home
We breath its air, oh, he sent you there,
You’re a child of Chevron, ohhhh.

CHORUS:
Oh baby Shalhevet, there’s fire in your name
Without you, there’s an emptiness
We are wicks without a flame
You left this world a tiny babe
But to me you’re so much more
You’re the giant heart of sacrifice
That will open heaven’s door.
You left this world a tiny babe
But to me you’re so much more
You’re the giant heart of sacrifice
That will open heaven’s door.

Go storm the heavens, little one
Go proudly to his throne
I’m here to plead for Yisroel;
I’m Shalhevet,
Shalhevet from Chevron.

We will never forget you,
Shalhevet,
Shalhevet.
