LYRIC
ON GIANTS SHOULDERS- Avraham Fried- Composed By Yossi Green, Lyrics By Yocheved Reich- Shtar Hatenoyim
(Later sung By Yossi Green To Yedidim Romemucha- Shades Of Green 1)
When I was young, I heard a tale
Of a giant standing tall
And his son, oh, so small
They shared a dream to see the king
They hungered for the day
And hurried on their way.
As they neared, the two despaired
A wall rose to the skies
Above the giant’s eyes
Wait my son, said he
Climb upon me
And after you arise
You will be my eyes.
CHORUS:
And we will do it, brothers
After us there’ll be no others,
You and I will do
What giants wanted to.
So stand and take the credit
We will be the ones to end it,
Though we’re small, We’re standing tall
Like soldiers
Riding high ’cause we’re on our fathers shoulders.
Holy and pure, our fathers were
Giant righteous men
We are small compared to them
But our deeds, upon their deeds
Together they will bring
משיח our king
משיח, משיח our king.
CHORUS:
And we will do it, brothers
After us there’ll be no others,
You and I will do
What giants wanted to.
So stand and take the credit
We will be the ones to end it,
Though we’re small, We’re standing tall
Like soldiers
Riding high ’cause we’re on our fathers shoulders.
It’s up to us
To hammer home that final blow
Our fathers started long ago
Compelling us to follow.
CHORUS:
And we will do it, brothers
After us there’ll be no others,
You and I will do
What giants wanted to.
So stand and take the credit
We will be the ones to end it,
Though we’re small, We’re standing tall
Like soldiers
Riding high ’cause we’re on our fathers shoulders.
