MY FELLOW JEW- Avraham Fried- Composed by Yossi Green & Avraham Fried, Lyrics by Avraham Fried & Rabbi Manis Friedman- My Fellow Jew
VERSE 1:
G-d smiled in heaven, but His joy was not complete
The angels were singing but their song had no wings,
The world was freshly painted, yet the sky was feeling blue
Something, something just wasn’t right.
Then with you came a G-dly light
That made the world complete,
You gave the world its heart
You gave the world its soul,
Now G-d can call this place His home
For now there was you
For now there was you
My brother, my fellow Jew.
CHORUS 1:
So with all my heart and soul let me honor you
A gentle people with a faith of steel,
You teach the world how to live and how to give and how to believe
If I could look into your heart
I would see the face of G-d.
You have weathered all the storms, they’ve all come and gone
You are the unsung heroes of the world,
And you were born of ancient days and you will go on and on,
I’ve seen miracles before
but the greatest of them all is you –
my fellow Jew.
VERSE 2:
Who can count the teardrops that have fallen from your eyes?
And who would dare to measure the pain that you have known?
Yet here you are, undaunted with a mission and a dream
You carry on when hope is gone
All that you live for will come true.
And so when at times I’m feeling weak
It’s you who makes me strong
And when at times I cannot speak
You, you become my song
I know I can do the impossible
When I think of you,
When I think of you, my brother, my fellow Jew.
CHORUS 2:
So with all my heart and soul let me honor you
A gentle people with a faith of steel,
You teach the world how to live and how to give and how to believe
If I could look into your heart
I would see the face of G-d.
You have weathered all the storms, they’ve all come and gone
You are the unsung heroes of the world,
And you were born of ancient days and you will go on and on,
I’ve seen miracles before
but the greatest of them all is you –
my fellow Jew.
