LYRIC

CARRY ON- Lipa Schmeltzer- Composed by Moshe E. Lax, Lyrics by Bella Levitan-Rotenberg- A Poshiter Yid

He found himself standing in the dark
Facing an enemy who sought to slay his heart,
All alone in the black of night
Without his family to aid him in his fight.
And as the dust rose up from the ground
They battled endlessly to bring each other down,
The hours past, had the time come to retreat?
Perhaps surrender and admit defeat.

A voice inside him said carry on
You must face your fear and persevere until the light of dawn,
You’ll find a strength you never knew
Buried deep inside of you
Yes, you will rise up, you must carry on.

וַיִּוָּתֵר יַעֲקֹב, יַעֲקֹב לְבַדּוֹ
,וַיֵּאָבֵק אִישׁ עִמּוֹ
עַד עֲלוֹת הַשָּׁחַר, עַד עֲלוֹת הַשָּׁחַר
וְלֹא, וְלֹא, וְלֹא יָכֹל לוֹ

We all have moments, struggles day to day
It just seems easier to throw it all away,
And we must remember, we can make the climb
A gift of courage from the dawn of time.

A voice inside me says carry on
You must face your fear, and persevere
Until the light of dawn,
You’ll find a strength you never knew
Buried deep inside of you
Yes, you will rise above, you will rise up,
You must carry on.

וַיִּוָּתֵר יַעֲקֹב, יַעֲקֹב לְבַדּוֹ
,וַיֵּאָבֵק אִישׁ עִמּוֹ
עַד עֲלוֹת הַשָּׁחַר, עַד עֲלוֹת הַשָּׁחַר
וְלֹא, וְלֹא, וְלֹא יָכֹל לוֹ

You must carry on…
We can carry on…
Pick yourself up and go on…
And on… And on… And on…
I know it hurts a little sometimes
But everybody hurts a little bit sometimes.
Yaakov Avinu showed us the way… Showed us the way
וַיִּוָּתֵר יַעֲקֹב לְבַדּוֹ, וַיֵּאָבֵק אִישׁ עִמּוֹ
So ,טייערע אידן, גוטע חברים let’s be strong on and on
עַד עֲלוֹת הַשָּׁחַר… on and on and on and on…
