LYRIC
KOL YISROEL CHAVEIRIM- Yehuda!- Composed and Written by Zale Newman- Yehuda & Friends
VERSE 1:
It was a dark and cloudy day
Rain fell upon the crowd,
And all of those who’d gathered there
Stood sadly with heads bowed.
They all had come to escort
The man they so revered,
He taught them life
For more than fifty years.
Grey suits that said ‘Versace’
A shirt that said ‘The Jets’,
Chassidim wearing felt hats
Their long coats and their vests.
Black yarmulkas of velvet
And knitted ones in white,
A coat of many colors
Shining bright.
CHORUS:
Kol Yisroel Chaveirim
Kol Yisroel Areivim
Kol Yisroel Chaveirim,
I will always be there for you
We’re all one family
Kol Yisroel, Kol Yisroel Chaveirim.
VERSE 2:
They all joined in tehillim
And each one shed his tears,
They all shared in the legacy
Of their Rebbi through the years.
Never judge another
And help all those in need,
Fear Hashem above
The One that sees.
So look beyond the outside
To that which lies within,
See what someone could become
Instead of what he’s been.
Share the light of Torah
Ignite the spark inside,
Reach out and share
That special gift of life.
CHORUS:
Kol Yisroel Chaveirim
Kol Yisroel Areivim
Kol Yisroel Chaveirim,
We will always be there for you
We’re all one family
Kol Yisroel, Kol Yisroel Chaveirim.
BRIDGE:
And when the winds of hatred blow
Please ask yourself, my friend,
Have you done all that
You could have done today,
Ve’ahavta lerai’acha, lerai’acha kamocha
Kol yisroel, Kol yisroel chaverim.
CHORUS:
Kol Yisroel Chaveirim
Kol Yisroel Areivim
Kol Yisroel Chaveirim,
We will always be there for you
We’re all one family
Kol Yisroel, Kol Yisroel Chaveirim.
