LYRIC
BOLD AS A LEOPARD- Country Yossi- Welcome Back Kivi & Tuki
Be bold as a leopard
Strong as a lion
Swift as a deer across the hill.
You gotta reach for the heavens
Soar like an eagle
Race like the wind to do his will.
(x2)

CHORUS 1:
Don’t be shy, no hesitating
Hashem in heaven is watching and waiting for you,
You know it’s true.
Quickly now, the sun is a-setting,
Hayom kotzer but I’m a-betting on you
To do what you gotta do.
——————————————————————————
Be sweet with your bubby
Respectful to your rebbi
Thank Hashem that you are safe and sound.
You gotta shine like the sunlight
Glow like a starlight
Spread joy and happiness around.
——————————————————————————
CHORUS 2:
Don’t be shy, no hesitating
Hashem in heaven is watching and waiting for you,
You know it’s true.
Quickly now, the sun is a-setting,
Hayom kotzer but I’m a-betting on you
To do what you gotta do.

(You know, Kinderlach, the sefer hamussar explains that a student should be bold as a leopard
when he’s learning in class and not be embarrassed to ask questions.
Even if he has to ask his rebbi to explain something over and over again,
he shouldn’t be ashamed.
Just as the leopard is bold, so too must we be fearless when it comes to learning Torah.
There’s also a story told about a big tzaddik who opened his eyes one dark and freezing morning
and the Yetzer Hara told him, stay in bed a little longer. It’s so warm and comfortable.
You scoundrel! Shouted the tzaddik.
You woke up bright and early to come here and tell me to stay in bed?
Get out of my way! I’m going to Shul!)

CHORUS 3:
Be bold as a leopard
Strong as a lion
Swift as a deer across the sea.
Hevei az kanamer,
Ve’al kanesher,
Rotz katzvi vegibbor ka’ari.
(x2)
Rotz katzvi vegibbor ka’ari.
Rotz katzvi vegibbor ka’ari.
Always be the best that you can be.
