Just One Shabbos
Mordechai Ben David
Album: Just One Shabbos
The Western Wall on Friday night
His first time ever there
Strapped into his knapsack
With his long and curly hair
He stood there for a while,
Broke out with a smile
Emotion overwhelming joy with tears
The men were dancing there
Their hearts so full of love
They sang such happy tunes
To thank the One Above
For showing them the way
For giving them a day
To rest rejoice with peace of mind to pray
Just one Shabbos and we’ll all be free
Just one Shabbos come and join with me
We’ll sing and dance to the sky
With our spirits so high
We’ll show them all it’s true
Let them come and join us too
I said hello my friend
You seem to be amused
He said much more than that
I am a bit confused
I know I am a Jew
I was "bar mitzvah-ed" too
But Shabbos in our home who ever knew
He asked to join with us
To understand and see
He spent some time with us
In total ecstasy
Next Shabbos came along
His feelings grew so strong
He first began to feel that he belonged
He found this treasure
Made some changes in his life
A brand new family his children and his wife
They learn new things each day
To live the Torah way
The message of the Shabbos they will relay
Now every Friday night they go down to the Wall
Invite some people home and they will tell them all
We’ll teach you this new song
So join and sing along
And soon we’ll all be free it won’t be long
