TEN TIKVAH LAYELED- Tikvah Layeled Theme Song

Schoolyard filled with children
Running happy, running free
Smiles on youthful faces
Lively shouts of glee
But watching from the window
In a brace that’s made of steel
Sits a lonely little boy
Whom doctors cannot heal.

I want to run he whispers
But my legs refuse to go
I want to hold a pencil
But my hands just tremble so
They say I cannot learn much
But I know it isn’t true
Tatty, Mommy, someone help me
Show what I can do.

Ten Tikvah LaYeled
Give a child a chance
To hope for something better
To do all that he can
Help him build a future
Every child has one to show,
Ten Tikvah LaYeled
Give a child a chance to grow.

In a baby’s carriage
Lies a pretty little girl
Eyes that shine and sparkle
Like the sunlight on her curls
She smiles at passing strangers
As they stop to say how sweet
But they don’t know this little girl
Can’t move her hand or feet.

Her mother well remembers
The verdict of that day
The doctor shrugged his shoulders
And said send her away
There’s no hope for her future
So best accept it now
Her mother held her tight and said
We’ll find a way somehow.

Ten Tikvah LaYeled
Give a child a chance
To hope for something better
To do all that it can
Help him build a future
Every child has one to show,
Ten Tikvah LaYeled
Give a child a chance to grow.
