RABBI AKIVA- 8th Day- Shmuli & Bentzi Marcus- Inner Flame

Rachel knew her man was strong
Cutting, chopping all day long
But he was turning forty; he couldn’t read.
He’d trim your tree, make a dime
Married a woman so divine
And she’d be the one change history.

Chase your dreams, don’t wait for me
A man must face his destiny
And I can’t wait to see.
Grab each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line, it’ll work out fine.

Greatest sage that ever lived
Had a tough time as a kid
You see, he was turning forty, he couldn’t read.
They stood together like a poem
By the river near their home
‘Cuz, what you see is meant to be.

He saw soft water rocking stone
Maybe Torah reach my bones
And I change destiny.
I’ll grab each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line it’ll work out fine.

Ew… ayayaya, Akiva
(x2)

A winter’s day, a summer’s night
Rachel sat by candlelight
She could wait forever graciously.
Came back to town a little gray
A thousand students in his way
She was in the back so patiently.

He held a crown for all to see
I can never teach what she taught me
And I learned bravery.
I grabbed each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line, it’ll work out fine.

Chase your dreams, don’t wait for me
A man must face his destiny
And I can’t wait to see.
Grab each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line, it’ll work out fine.

Ewww, oh oh… ayayaya, Akiva
(x2)

Akiva, Akiva, Akiva.
