THE NESHAMA LIVES FOREVER- Abie Rotenberg & Joey Newcomb- Composed by Abie Rotenberg- Single 2024

VERSE 1:
Life is short, flies right on by
Like a passing cloud up in the sky,
No one knows when their time will be to go
It’s all up to Hashem.
Now if you think that it’s unfair
You may just not be aware,
The Torah says and we believe
Only the guf comes to an end.

CHORUS 1:
But the neshama lives forever
Forever and ever and ever,
But the neshama lives forever
And forever is a long, long time.
But the neshama lives forever
Forever and ever and ever,
But the neshama lives forever
And forever is a long, long time.

VERSE 2:
The neshama is untouchable
Unseen and indestructible,
A precious chelek Eloka mi’maal
A small piece of Hashem.
It comes and joins its host at birth
And spends a little bit of time on Earth,
The Torah says and we believe
Only the guf comes to an end.

CHORUS 2:
But the neshama lives forever
Forever and ever and ever,
But the neshama lives forever
And forever is a long, long time.
But the neshama lives forever
Forever and ever and ever,
But the neshama lives forever
And forever is a long, long time.

BRIDGE:
עוֹלָם הַזֶה דוֹמֶה לַפְּרוֹזְדוֹר
,עוֹלָם הַבָּא דוֹמֶה לַטְרַקְלִין
עוֹלָם הַזֶה דוֹמֶה לַפְּרוֹזְדוֹר
עוֹלָם הַבָּא דוֹמֶה לַטְרַקְלִין

VERSE 3:
Though we miss our loved ones endlessly
We remain their legacy,
They’re surely proud to see us choose
To be avdei Hashem.
To make this world a better place
And live ever in Hashem’s embrace,
The Torah says and we believe
Only the guf comes to an end
Only the guf comes to an end!

CHORUS 3:
But the neshama lives forever
Forever and ever and ever,
But the neshama lives forever
And forever is a long, long time.
But the neshama lives forever
Forever and ever and ever,
But the neshama lives forever
And forever is a long, long,
Long, long, long, long,
Long, long, long, long time.
