Album: Machar

Hey my friend come and listen
There was something I was missing
I thought happiness was just too hard to find
It just depended on how I was feeling
But now I’ve been revealing
That it’s possible to change my state of mind

To change my state of mind
I didn’t know it’s possible to change my state of mind

Smile and watch the whole world smile with you
Smile discover all the gifts it gives to you
Even if you’re feeling down
You can turn it all around
Find the joy and lose the frown

yeah smile

At first I had to fake it
Then I started to make it
It surprised me how a small thing does a lot
But doing it on the outside
Somehow changed things on the inside
And it helped me realize
All the good things I’ve got

All the good thing I’ve got
It just helped me realize all the good things I’ve got

Smile and watch the whole world smile with you
Smile discover all the gifts it gives to you
Even if you’re feeling down
You can turn it all around
Find the joy and lose the frown

Now I’ve come to realize
I can make my own sunrise
Cause a piece of love is always inside
There’s a joy that never leaves me
I just need to take it easy
Yeah it’s up to me I just need to decide

Smile and watch the whole world smile with you
Smile discover all the gifts it gives to you
Even if you’re feeling down
You can turn it all around
Find the joy and lose the frown

Album: Machar

Straighten my tie
Tell them goodbye
And there’s a small voice that cries, “Daddy, stay.”
But I must go
On with the show
I have to wipe away the tears ‘cuz I know
That I’m gonna miss them so

And every time I leave again
I leave a part of me right there at home with them
And though I might be miles away
A part of me will stay home
That’s where I belong
I can’t be gone too long
I’m just waiting to come home

Chasing a train
Catching a plane
‘Cuz there’s so much I wanna share with the world
It’s funny somehow
With people around
With all the music and the lights, I’m alone
All I can think of is home

And every time I leave again
I leave a part of me right there at home with them
And though I might be miles away
A part of me will stay home
That’s where I belong
I can’t be gone too long
I’m just waiting to come home

Walk in the door
Feeling the warmth
And there’s a sign, “Welcome back, Daddy dear”
Children so pure
Love that endures
And now I wipe the tears of joy ‘cuz I know
That I’ve finally come home

And every time I leave again
I leave a part of me right there at home with them
And though I might be miles away
A part of me will stay home
That’s where I belong
I can’t be gone too long
I’m just waiting to come home

One of a Kind, 8th Day

One of a Kind

From Slow Down

8th Day

Shmuli and Bentzi Marcus

My parents left me at the gate with goodbye
Just a kid I had to get by
Turnstile jumpers I found boys with no shoes
They had a plan I just couldn’t refuse

Crammed in the back we were hidden from view
With no tickets that’s just what you do
But when the cop came and he asked me my name
He told me son it’s time to change your game

You’ve got a first class ticket on the road to success
Why are you in the back trying to be like the rest
Oh you’re the one I was trying to find
You’re the one, you’re one of a kind

Hearts are racing as you take to the sky
In the city you need to get by
Fools and jokers I found boys with no clues
They’ll have a plan but you gotta refuse

Cards in a stack the world is open to you
Those birds of freedom they do what they do
But glass it shatters and they’re looking to blame
The time has come I need to change my game

You’ve got a first class ticket on the road to success
Why are you in the back trying to be like the rest
Oh you’re the one I was trying to find
You’re the one, you’re one of a kind

You’ve got a first class ticket so show me your best

Why fool around trying to be like the rest
Oh you’re the one I was trying to find
You’re the one, you’re one of a kind

Album: It's Min Hashomayim

See our world it's torn apart
boldness has replaced the heart
Each and every day we feel the strain
Lives are filled with emptiness
Living dreams so meaningless
Where's the goal we hoped we would attain?

When? When?
When will the Galus end?
When? Oh, When?
When will Your throne descend?
How will the good succeed?
Can we all be reprieved?
How we long to see Your glory once again

We ask, When? When?
When will these days appear?
Maybe then, only then
the truth will become so clear
the world will be always bright
with darkness replaced by light
how we hope to change our story

Where are our peaceful days?
In that place Kedusha reigns
May the deeds of Avos be our plea
Standing for what we believe
Endless years we've had to grieve
May our Zechus from those join history….
