LYRIC
HEAR US NOW- Tzlil V’zemer Boys Choir- Composed by Moshe Kiss, Lyrics by Chani Weinberg & Lana Presser- Vol 8 (Hear Us Now)
Our history is rich and full of dreams
Our Father’s love preserved our self-esteem,
Others tore us down
Destroyed our nation’s crown
This lengthy exile ebbs our souls, it seems.
We cannot close our eyes to what we see
Aching souls, spiritual poverty,
Sickness, war and pain
Can we ascertain
A day when troubled people will be free?
CHORUS:
Hear us now (Hear us now)
Hear our prayers that come from our souls,
Hear our cry of Shema Koleinu
Guiding us towards our goals.
Hear us now (Hear us now)
We’re Am Yisrael, together we stand,
Achake lo bechol yom sheyavo
Our destiny is in Your hands.
There is a time to laugh, a time to cry
There is a time to live, a time to die,
Soon the time will come
We will join as one
The world will alter right before our eyes.
CHORUS:
Hear us now (Hear us now)
Hear our prayers that come from our souls,
Hear our cry of Shema Koleinu
Guiding us towards our goals.
Hear us now (Hear us now)
We’re Am Yisrael, together we stand,
Achake lo bechol yom sheyavo
Our destiny is in Your hands.
No longer will the children be denied
And troubled souls won’t need a place to hide,
Through Torah’s light we’ll see
A perfect harmony
The beauty of the world will be our pride.
CHORUS:
Hear us now (Hear us now)
Hear our prayers that come from our souls,
Hear our cry of Shema Koleinu
Guiding us towards our goals.
(x2)
Hear us now (Hear us now)
We’re Am Yisrael, together we stand,
Achake lo bechol yom sheyavo
Our destiny is in Your hands.
(x2)
