LYRIC
ONE DAY- Nochum Stark- In Eretz Yisroel
VERSE 1:
He was so sad that day
As he walked onto the train
Little did he know it would be fate
An older man beside him leaned upon his cane
This is what he started to relate.
I’ll tell you a story
From a long, long time ago
Despondent, I was traveling to Kedan
And in my grief, approached a man I did not know
With a Tehilim in my hand, this very one.
CHORUS 1:
He said,
When your faith in life has been shaken
And you feel that you’ve been forsaken
Let these words speak for you
And its pages pull you through
Then one day
You’ll begin to pray
With tears.
Suddenly,
The clouds have parted
And a peaceful life
Can be started
Turn to Hashem
Get your spirit back again
Then one day
You’ll find your way
Without fear.
VERSE 2:
I have seen you sit in pain
Now it’s been so many days
Something grave is weighing on your mind
Has life come apart for you in many ways
Perhaps this Tehilim’s what you need to find.
Sometimes we get lost
In the work of our hand
It’s easy to forget he leads on high
When we turn to him
We see this all was planned
Take this Tehilim
Soon you’ll too know why.
CHORUS 1:
He said,
When your faith in life has been shaken
And you feel that you’ve been forsaken
Let these words speak for you
And its pages pull you through
Then one day
You’ll begin to pray
With tears.
Suddenly,
The clouds have parted
And a peaceful life
Can be started
Turn to Hashem
Get your spirit back again
Then one day
You’ll find your way
Without fear.
VERSE 3:
The weeks went by
Feeling sorry for himself
Drowning in his sorrow
He would chant
Saw that old Tehilim
Sitting on the shelf
And opened it
With nowhere else to turn.
That moment, he was thinking
Just to close it once again
He held his breath
Then endless tears just came
For his eyes saw clearly
In the owner’s pen
Printed there
His great grandfather’s name.
CHORUS 2:
He said to me,
Though my faith in life had been shaken
And I felt that I’d been forsaken
I turned to Hashem
Got my spirit back again
In just one day
I began to pray
With tears.
Suddenly,
The clouds had parted
And a peaceful life
Can be started
So let these words speak for you
Like its pages pulled me through
Then one day
You’ll find your way
Without fear.
So let these words speak for you
And its pages pull you through
Then one day
You’ll find your way
Then one day, one day
You’ll find your way
Without fear.
Then one day.
