LYRIC

THE RABBI’S SON- 8th Day- Composed By Shmuli Marcus- All You Got

I know you think I don’t belong here
With my blue jeans and my long hair
But when I was just a little boy
I would play here with my trains.

When I was just a little boy
This whole synagogue knew my name.

When the soldiers they took me away they said
We need the young and strong
When the soldiers took me away
My father was singing this song, he sang:

CHORUS:
וְאַף עַל פִּי, וְאַף עַל פִּי
,שֶׁחָטָא יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא
וְאַף עַל פִּי, וְאַף עַל פִּי
.שֶׁחָטָא יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא

So sing me the song just one more time
Maybe I’ll understand,
Sing me the song just one more time
I want to know who I am.

How can I know where I’m going
If I don’t know where I’m coming from,
How can I know why I’m living
If I don’t know what he was dying for.

I know you think my life was not fair
As you wipe away another tear
But since I was just a little boy
I searched this whole world for this place.

Since I was just a little boy
I never forgot his holy face
When the soldiers took me away they said
Everything was wrong
When the soldiers took me away
I never stopped singing this song, I sang:

CHORUS:
וְאַף עַל פִּי, וְאַף עַל פִּי
,שֶׁחָטָא יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא
וְאַף עַל פִּי, וְאַף עַל פִּי
.שֶׁחָטָא יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא

So sing me the song just one more time
Maybe I’ll understand,
Sing me the song just one more time
I want to know who I am.

How can I know where I’m going
If I don’t know where I’m coming from,
How can I know why I’m living
If I don’t know what he was dying for.

Sing me the song just one more time
Maybe I’ll understand,
Sing me the song just one more time
I want to know who I am.

How can I know where I’m going
If I don’t know where I’m coming from,
How can I know why I’m living
If I don’t know what he was dying for.
