"Someday" by MBD Mordechai Ben David Jep Vol. 4 (Lyrics)

Written by Dina Storch
Performed by Mordechai Ben David on JEP Vol. 4


('When I was just a little boy', circa 1982, Avraham Fried was beginning his career and had a Chanukah concert in Madison, Wisconsin. My father packed the family into our green station wagon and we drove the 4 hours to Madison from Minneapolis in 7 hours, through horrible snow. When we arrived at the concert hall, the show was over and people were filing out. When Fried saw us, he re-assembled the orchestra and did one more song, just for us. It was this song.)

They learned in a dark frigid cellar 
Alone just a small group of men 
When in rushed the soldiers and led them all away 
The flame of Torah flickered on that day 

So many tears, so much sorrow 
The pain has lasted thousands of years 
but soon we'll stop crying the cruelty will end 
and Melech HaMoshiach will be sent 

Chorus: 
Someday we will all be together 
Someday we'll be sheltered and warm 
Never will we have to express any fear 
Our scars and our wounds will disappear 

 Avraham and Yitzchok will be there to greet us 
Yaakov and his sons will stand by and smile 
Moshe Rabbeinu will lead us once again 
in Yerushalayim - B'Ezras Hashem 

We learn every day and we daven 
We ask Hashem please bring those old times back 
We all knowhe is listening of course we know it's true 
For I've received the promise and so have you 

That Hashem will lead us out of this galus 
It won't be too much longer I know 
and then together we'll all daven together we'll all sing 
And praise and thank Hashem for everything 

 Chorus
