SMILE AGAIN- Mendy Wald- Composed by Yitzy Bald, Lyrics by Yechiel “Ziggy” Zagelbaum- Lechaim
VERSE 1:
Long sleepless nights
Clutching tightly his tear drenched Tehillim
Thoughts and emotions race by as his heart is torn apart by her aches and cries.
Struggling to speak, mother draws him closer, imploring
Forever trust in Hashem that His mercy and compassion will soon be shown
For He loves us so.
CHORUS:
Elevating our voices stronger every day
‘רפאינו ה
Father, please don’t turn away,
Wipe away the tears
Of sorrow, pain and fears
And even when His master plan is hard to understand
Still we know He’s always near.
To the heavens above, our prayers will ascend
In the blink of an eye, all the suffering could end.
All the חולים cured
אמונה reassured.
We must continue on this battle till the war is won
Happiness and health restored to everyone
Young and old will soon rejoice as one
And then we’ll smile again.
VERSE 2:
Unmoved in prayer
Are we failing to show some emotion?
As countless names are called out
Desperately by family
Will it ever end?
Touched deep within
Realizing the good health we’re granted.
Showing concern for each Jew
Surely we can intervene on behalf of them
So they can smile again.
CHORUS:
Elevating our voices stronger every day
רפאינו ה׳
Father, please don’t turn away.
Wipe away the tears
Of sorrow, pain and fears
And even when His master plan is hard to understand
Still we know He’s always near.
To the heavens above, our prayers will ascend
In the blink of an eye, all the suffering could end.
All the חולים cured
אמונה reassured.
We must continue on this battle till the war is won
Happiness and health restored to everyone
Young and old will soon rejoice as one
And then we’ll smile again
(x2)
FINALE:
Excitement fills the air
That day is drawing near…
When we will smile again.
