LYRIC
OUR GEDOLIM- Amudai Shaish- Composed By Shmuel Borger- Double Album
Gedolim we had throughout the years
Tzaddikim who poured out their tears,
sages we learned from very well
fathers of Klal Yisroel.
But now they’re gone, and left are just a few
to guide us as a Jew,
Oh, Hashem, what can we do or say
so many gone, taken away…
CHORUS:
Even though they’re gone
their Torah still lives on,
never ever will their great Kedusha fade away.
In Shomayim every day
they Daven as we pray
Shema Koleinu
they cry as we pray.
Shema Koleinu, Hashem Elokeinu
Chus Veracheim, Veracheim Aleinu,
Am Hashem, a nation unto you
we are so proud, so proud to be a Jew.
In Gan Eden high above, they pray for us with love
never ever will they leave us here all alone,
they look down every day, with a smile they do say
Kinderlach, Kinderlach, Moshiach is on his way.
“Yes, Avrumi, we had many Gedolim in our days.
We had Reb Moshe. We had Reb Yaakov. We had Reb Aharon”.
“Yes, Kinderlach. We had the Heilige Satmer Rebbe.
The Steipler Gaon. Zichronom Levracha. Yes, Kinderlach.
And we had many, many more”.
A life of Tzidkus and Emunah they led
Torah throughout the world they spread,
they lived for you and for me
Oh, Hashem, and now what will be?
And for the few that are still here
we must cherish very dear,
we must follow whatever they say
each and every day.
CHORUS:
Even though they’re gone
their Torah still lives on,
never ever will their great Kedusha fade away.
In Shomayim every day
they Daven as we pray
Shema Koleinu
they cry as we pray.
Shema Koleinu, Hashem Elokeinu
Chus Veracheim, Veracheim Aleinu,
Am Hashem, a nation unto you
we are so proud, so proud to be a Jew.
In Gan Eden high above, they pray for us with love
never ever will they leave us here all alone,
they look down every day, with a smile they do say
Kinderlach, Kinderlach, Moshiach is on his way.
“Tatty, is it possible that one day I can become a Gadol?”
“Yes, Tatty. That we can become great Tzaddikim?”
“Yes, Kinderlach. We can all become Gedolim!
We can all become Tzaddikim! Yes!”
So remember, a Gadol you can be
like Tzaddikim throughout history,
in the footsteps of a Gadol we can go
Gantz Torah, Gantz Shas we can know.
I am a Jew, yes, I am a Jew
Oh, Hashem, I do love You,
even though there are just a few
“Yes, Tatty, we will always follow the ways of our Gedolim!”
Oh, Hashem, we do love You.
CHORUS- ABRIDGED:
Even though they’re gone
their Torah still lives on,
never, never ever will their great Kedusha fade away.
In Shomayim every day
they Daven as we pray
Shema Koleinu
they cry as we pray.
In Gan Eden high above, they pray for us with love
never ever will they leave us here all alone,
they look down every day, with a smile they do say
Kinderlach, Kinderlach, Moshiach is on his way.
“Yes, Kinderlach. Moshiach is coming… today!”
