BARUCH HASHEM YOU JUST CAN’T SAY IT ENOUGH- Joey Newcomb- Composed by Abie Rotenberg, Lyrics by Henye Meyer & Abie Rotenberg- Journeys 5
VERSE 1:
Growing up I watched my mama
doing laundry in the sink,
And my brothers’ clothes and mine
were kind of tattered.
But we had love and we had faith
and there was laughter in our home…
So I guess we had the only things that mattered.
CHORUS 1:
Boruch Hashem, Boruch Hashem
Boruch Hashem, Boruch Hashem,
Be it smooth, be it rough –
You just can’t say it enough,
Boruch Hashem, Boruch Hashem.
VERSE 2:
Nothing much has changed
as the days and years flew by,
If it wasn’t sad you’d say it’s kinda funny.
Though I surely can proclaim
that I’ve tried my very best
Just like my folks, I’m not too good at making money.
But Hashem knows what He’s doing
it’s His world after all,
Why waste time in useless second-guessing.
All the trials and tribulations
are but means to help us grow,
So instead of counting money- count your blessings.
CHORUS 2:
Boruch Hashem, Boruch Hashem
Boruch Hashem, Boruch Hashem,
Be it smooth, be it rough –
You just can’t say it enough,
Boruch Hashem, Boruch Hashem.
VERSE 3:
There was a time not long ago
I’m not too proud to say,
When I resented the good fortune of my friends.
How I wish I could take back
the envy and the pain,
As it brought me less than nothing in the end.
But I’ve cast aside that burden
I’m happy and I’m free,
Growing up taught me a thing or two.
Now I go around with my guitar
and sing for all to hear…
The grass is mighty green on my side too!
CHORUS 3:
Boruch Hashem, Boruch Hashem
Boruch Hashem, Boruch Hashem,
Be it smooth, be it rough –
You just can’t say it enough,
Boruch Hashem, Boruch Hashem.
