THE PROMISE- Miami Alumni- Composed By Menachem Klein- The Miami Alumni

A whirlwind of emotions
Enveloped our souls,
It all seemed so impossible
The changes taking hold.
On that very day
Heaven shown its rays,
For a child
Was born into our world.

An image starts emerging,
A picture in our minds.
The righteousness he’s living,
Of courage and of pride.
For this dream to become
A gift for everyone,
You must guide him
Showing him the way.

CHORUS 1:
Pray for the lights of our children,
Make a promise you’ll never break,
And you’ll give them all your love
And the strength to achieve,
Let them grow to be all they can be.
Show them the light of our nation,
All the darkness they’ll overcome,
Can you see who they are,
Don’t be scared to believe,
The future holds the promise,
Don’t you see?…
They hold the key.

The challenge that awaits us
We’ll answer to its call
The dangers to our nation
Around us, many fall
Don’t give in, don’t be swayed
From a path you can stray
So embrace them close to your hearts.

Looking for direction
To our sages we shall turn
They’ll open up those pages
Of the Torah that we learn
It’s the torch, pass it on
All our fears will be gone
Now our legacy
Stressed with his name.

CHORUS 1:
Pray for the lights of our children,
Make a promise you’ll never break,
And you’ll give them all your love
And the strength to achieve,
Let them grow to be all they can be.
Show them the light of our nation,
All the darkness they’ll overcome,
Can you see who they are,
Don’t be scared to believe,
The future holds the promise,
Don’t you see?…
They hold the key.

CHORUS 2:
Show us the light of our nation,
All the darkness we’ll overcome
Can you see who we are,
Don’t be scared to believe,
The future holds the promise,
Don’t you see?

יְשִׂימְךָ אֱלֹקִים
כְּאֶפְרַיִם
כְּאֶפְרַיִם וְכִמְנַשֶּׁה
יִשָּׂא הַ’ פָּנָיו
פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ
וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ לְךָ שָׁלוֹם
לְךָ שָׁלוֹם
לְךָ שָׁלוֹם
The future holds the promise,
Don’t you see?…
They hold the key.
