VESEIN CHELKEINU- Baruch Levine Ft. Nachi Kaufman- Composed by Baruch Levine, Lyrics by Miriam Whitman- Oorah Single 2021

VERSE 1:
I stand in white
On the holiest day
Overcome with deep emotion.
As day turns to night
And You’re slipping away
My heart won’t let me go.

This is who I want to be
I want to stay here with You all year long.

VERSE 2:
Together we stand
Having come to take part
A parade all in Your honor.
Sefer Torah in hand
Oh, the joy in my heart
When I dance, I dance with You.

This is who I want to be
I want to hold You this close all year long.

CHORUS:
V’sen chelkeinu b’sorasecha
Can I be part of Your Glory?
Your Torah, my treasure
For now and forever
I want You a part of my story.
This is who I want to be
When I feel it, I feel ‘me’.

V’sen chelkeinu b’sorasecha
Can I be part of Your Glory?
Your Torah, my treasure
For now and forever
I want You a part of my story.
This is who I know is me
May it always be this clear for me to see.

VERSE 3:
They stand in white
On the holiest day
Overcome with deep emotion.
I stand outside
But as I turn away
My heart won’t let me go.

This is who I want to be
I want to find this world I know is mine.

VERSE 4:
On the sidelines I stand
Wishing I was a part
A parade all in His honor.
I watch in a trance
Feel the joy in their hearts
As they dance, I yearn to join.

This is who I want to be
Can I taste this joy you say is mine?

CHORUS:
V’sen chelkeinu b’sorasecha
Can I be part of Your Glory?
Your Torah, my treasure
For now and forever
I want You a part of my story.
This is who I want to be
When I feel it, I feel ‘me’.

V’sen chelkeinu b’sorasecha
Show me my part in His glory.
The Torah you treasure
A life of forever
I want you to rewrite my story.
This is who I know is me
When I see you I see who I want to be.

V’sen chelkeinu b’sorasecha
I want to speak of Your Glory.
To share of my treasure
To share my forever
I want to rewrite someone’s story.
This is who I want to be
When I feel it, I want the world to feel with me.
