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

"When" from Miami Boys Choir

"When"

Miami Boys Choir
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….

Hineni Title Track Mordechai Ben David MBD Jewish Music Lyrics

Hineni is one of MBD's first albums. This song is classic. 

I found these producer's notes for the album on Mostlymusic.com:

Liner notes for MBD Hineni We live in a time when directness of emotion and resourcefulness of imagination are primary to sustain success. The entertainer who emerges and survives must have great depth and venturesome to further develop his potential and to continue to absorb new sounds and experiences. Mordechai Ben David, endowed with and exceptionally talented voice, has already captivated many audiences in the States and in Israel. He is gifted with the ability to inspire his listeners, possessing the unique capacity to convey the emotional feelings inherent in the words and melodies of his selections. He already ranks as one of the greatest singers in Jewish Music today, and continues on his successful road to stardom. The Neginah has a record of outstanding achievement and popularity in a remarkably short period of time , and shows infinite promise for the future. Yisroel Lamm, Neginah\'s conductor and director, is considered to be one of the most imaginative and creative people in Chassidic Music of today. Together with Yitzchok Gross, Neginah\'s very dynamic and capable production manager, he has been able to produce some of the greatest musical masterpieces of our time.

Here's the song:

A dark cloud of despair surrounds your heart

Disillusion with life your face imparts

You are wandering in a world of confusion

Reality is hidden behind the web of illusion.

Chorus

So my brothers put your faith in the Above

Say "Hineni," I am ready to serve you with love.

The truth lies at the end of a forest dense

Your heart is your compass your spiritual sense

Let it lead you along the right road

And let the words of the Torah be your navigational code.

Our father Abraham was called by G-D to sacrifice his son

With the cry of Hineni the deed was done

Now what will become of our father's devotion

If we won’t say Hineni in our every emotion

Our forefathers smiled as they died in peace

But the cries they began will never cease

The words they cried shook the heavens above

They said Hineni, we are here with love

Neshama / Soul Title Track Mordechai Ben David MBD Jewish Music Lyrics

From one of MBD's first albums. Classic. 

I think he says "tundreds of sand" but i can't find a dictionary that has heard of the word Tundred. 

Here's a blurb for the Album that I found on Mostlymusic.com:

Liner Notes for MBD Neshama - Soul Mordechai Ben David is a child of a glorious musical tradition. His father, Cantor David Werdyger, is the world’s foremost interpreter of the famous music of Ger, Poland’s largest Chassidic center. Cantor Werdyger was an authentic wunderkind, of pre-war Europe. His son is an American original, blending timeless religious motifs with today’s sound. In the past few years, Mordechai has become one of our foremost singers. He has performed before thousands throughout the United States and abroad. After the Yom Kippur War, he was invited to entertain the Israeli troops. With his religious background and his musical talent, he gives us his new album Neshama (soul). The producers of this album bring you the very best. Tap your feet to such lively tuned as Al Hanisim the sit back and let Mordechai stir your soul with his Vaani Tefilati.

Here's the song

A stranger adrift in an unfriendly land
Of mountains, tundras of sand
To enrich and enliven this wasteland is his goal
His name is Neshama, soul

From a mountain came a gift of the only true life
Sinai now stands for bloodshed and strife
When rifles fall silent and tanks cease to roll
The victor will then be the soul

Blackened and charred like a synagogue burned
Lies a tank lifeless and overturned
Four heroes within snuffed out like a coal
But forever and ever and ever alive is the soul

You're Never Alone Avraham Fried Holyland's Greatest Hits Jewish Music Lyrics

This song originally appeared on a record called Holyland's Greatest Hits. Holyland being the late Jewish record distributor. You can now find it on a CD called Avraham Fried & Holyland's Greatest Hits, distributed by Sameach Music. Songs composed by Yossi Green. Fried sings it a lot at concerts. Nice song. 

You're Never Alone - Avraham Fried

Sometimes when you're feeling all alone
You need some happiness to call your own
Nothing is going the way it should
You're trying to do the best you could

Lift up your eyes to the skies
Your life's in His hands, trust in Him, He will reply
Guiding all your steps always at your side
You are His joy and pride

And don't you know you're never alone
It doesn't matter where you are
There's nothing in His eyes more special than you
Wherever you go Hashem goes with you 

Colored Candles from Destiny Volume 1 Eli Nathan Jewish Music Lyrics Chanukah Song

From his block of rolling lawns and fancy cars
He was so proud that he'd come so far
With the greatest of ease, he moved through high society
That grocer’s boy from the city streets

Well he’d long since gone and changed his name
It was the only way that he could play the game
With the neighbors like the Richardsons, the Williams and the Jones,

 What could he do with a name like Cohen

But he had one memory,
Yes his father he did see
Lighting colored candles on the window sill
Eight days a year he'd light
Another candle every night
It lingered in his memory still

In December came home from school his little girl called Sue
She held a picture of an x-mas tree she drew
All the kids in my class have one she said with a tear,
And could we have one in our home this year

He didn't know what to do
With his little daughter Sue
Although her desires he wished to fulfill
"My dear Sue listen to me,
There's something better than a tree,
It lingers in my memory still"

The next day he came home from work with a menorah in his hand
His dear wife said to him "Joe! I just don’t understand,
We've worked so hard to get to where we are today,
And now what will we do? What will the neighbors say?

But he light those candles anyway, yes there were 5 that night
And from his window to the street glowed the candle light
They were burning for an hour maybe a little more
When suddenly Mr. Richardson stood there by the door

He said would it be ok if a word to you I’d say
There's something about those candles you must know
Yes they bring back memories, of my father I still see
As he light those candles many years ago

He stepped outside on that night and boy was he surprised!
He couldn't believe what he saw he couldn't believe his eyes
From all the houses on the block glowed candle light
From their window sills and out unto the night

Yes they had one memory
Yes their father's they did see
Lighting colored candles on the window sill
Eight days a year they'd light
Another candle every night
It lingered in their memory still

Yiddish Country 8th Day Shmuli and Bentzy Marcus Jewish music Lyrics Video

Yiddish Country - Chasing Prophecy
Eighth Day

(In the video, they sang it a bit different, with some other lyrics. Don't let it bother you).

A pile of bills, old cheap thrills
Working late night at the old stone mill
These cars and lies, French ‘n fries
What do you see if you close your eyes?

New boots on the floor, sign on the door
Don’t want to see you come around no more
You got your gold neck ties, sweet pumpkin pie
What do you see on Rodeo Drive?

If there’s a who, there’s a why
There’s a we, there’s a way
I call that raison d’être (reason for existence)

If there’s a who, there’s a why
There’s a we, there’s a way
I can hear the sages say 

If there’s a who, there’s a why
There’s a we, there’s a way
Make it happen all today

If there’s a who, there’s a why
There’s a we, there’s a way
A little bit is still okay

Chorus:
Di vos villen heren, heren (those who wish to hear, hear)
Di vos villen zen, zen (those who wish to see, see)
Di vos kenen kenen, kenen (those who are able, are able)

Men darf nor vissen ver un ven (you only need to know who and when)

The Challah Lady from Album Yanky and Shabbos by Yitzy Erps

The Challah Lady

There's a wealthy lady

Who lives in my neighborhood

She has a cook to stock every shelf

But Wednesday night she yells “Hooray”

And shoos the cooks away

Because she wants to bake the challah herself.

You can tell that baking challah is her pride and joy

It’s a mitzvah she won’t ever shirk

Smells so good that I suppose

That if you follow your nose

You will find the challah lady at work.

And she kneads, kneads, kneads her challah dough

The only thing she needs is challah dough

Now this challah lady had a dinner to attend

With the wealthiest people in town

“Well if you want to attend,”

Said her fine and fancy friend

“Then you need, you need, you need a new gown.”

But the store would only sell the gowns on Wednesday night

The challah lady said, “I cannot go

I’ll put some new lace on my wrist

To give the old gown a new twist

Like the twist I give to my challah dough.”

Now the challah lady went to visit Dr. Smith,

And he told her she had to lose weight.

He said, “Here’s a nice surprise

There’s a class in exercise

For the ladies every Wednesday at eight.”

Now the challah lady said, “I just cannot come

But you say I am heavy so

I’ll just have to put more might

Into kneading Wednesday night

So that I’ll be as light as my dough.”

It was summer, and the air conditioner broke down

It was a hundred degrees in daylight

Said repair man Yerachmiel

“I’ve began a great new deal

I’ll be selling my tools Wednesday night.”

“It’s the only night I’ll fix the air conditioning

Or you’ll wait till I buy new supplies.”

The Challah Lady then did speak
And she said, “I’ll wait a week

While the heat will help my challah dough rise.”

Now the challah lady had a wig of lovely hair

And she wanted it handsomely brushed

But the stylist said she might 

Only do it Wednesday night

But at any other time she’d be rushed.

Now the challah lady said, “I just cannot go

But my sheitel needs setting I know

So I’ll just dye my wig a shade

And I’ll give it a new braid

Like the braid I give to my challah dough.”

Now the challah lady told me why her baking is 

More important than all of these things

It’s because ladies have alone

This mitzvah as their own

And so when she bakes the challah she sings…

We Are Ready Avraham Fried Title Track Jewish Music Lyrics

We Are Ready

Avraham Fried

Title Track

Once in a kingdom in the sky
There lived a mighty king who loved his nation
Lost below they had wandered far and wide
Searching for a way to return

And watching helplessly he tried
To whisper to their hearts the only answer
It's not a road or a path that you must find
All I need to hear are the words

Chorus:

We are ready, yes, we're ready
So lead us and we'll go
And all the world will know / and let the whole world know
It is done, we are one, and we're ready
Young and old will join us as we sing

It's over, yes, it's over
With all we’ve had to do
We still came shining through
And we know, yes, we know, we are ready
Feel the power of what we can bring

Now that the ending has begun
Now that the time has come to end the story
All the things we have had to do are done
We are ready now to be heard

And so we come to you as one
And standing hand in hand we're growing stronger
Looking now we can see how far we've come
Just believe in us, hear the words

All You Got 8th Day Title Track Shmuli and Bentzy Marcus Jewish Music Lyrics

All You Got
8th Day

Title Track

After one hundred and twenty five years
You go up to heaven you climb all those stairs
They won’t ask you were you wise like Solomon
They won’t ask you were you strong like Samson

They’ll ask just one question
And you give just one answer
It’s the end of the game
And only one thing matters
They’ll say - did you give it all you got

‘Cuz in this life you only have what you got
So give it all you got
In this world we only have what we got
So give it all you got

If you say it’s easy I’ll say it’s not
You gotta give it all you got
If you say it’s not for you I’ll say it’s your lot
You gotta give it all you got

If you say you’re tired I’ll say tick-tock
You gotta give it all you got
You could put my album on the shelf to rot
Just give it all you got

After working so hard and wiping those tears
You look in the mirror you face all your fears
Don’t be a fool trying to be wise like Solomon
Only the weak try to be strong like Samson

I did what I said
I got no one to blame
Only one thing matters
At the end of the game
They’ll say - did you give it all you got

Tatenyu 8th Day Chasing Prophecy Jewish Music Lyrics Shmuli and Bentzy Marcus

Tatenyu

8^th Day

Chasing Prophecy

Jack grew up in New York City, on the plaza with a view
His parents were screaming Harvard,

But he was just looking for You
He came by for a Shabbos, we stayed up way past 2
We spoke about a life of meaning,

‘Cuz he was just looking for You

(Chorus:)
M’zuch nisht Dine Olam Haboh (we aren't looking for your Olam Haboh)

M’zucht nisht Dine Gan Eden (we aren't looking for your Gen Eden)
M’vil nisht chappen Dineh Malochim (we don't want to catch Your angels)
M’zucht nor Dich alein (we are only looking for YOU)

Not looking for your Heaven’s doors
Not looking for your mirrored walls
Not looking to pull any strings
We’re just looking for you

Tatenyu

Jack's now Yakov Halevi, and our friendship really grew

He’s got a nice place in the Old City,

Where he’s just looking for you. 

Still a big fan of the Yankees, and a Harvard alumni too
But his grand-kids are keeping shabbos

And singing this song about you.

The Return by Avraham Fried from the Album No Jew Will Be Left Behind Jewish Music Lyrics

Those Were the Nights Yeshiva Boys Choir YBC Eli Gerstner

I just think that the kids in this video are genuinely having a good time. In most of these kid music videos, they might be smiling, but you don't get the feeling that they're enjoying themselves. I like this one. Happy Chanukah!

THOSE WERE THE NIGHTS

Bubby burned the Latkes every Chanukah
Forgot them in the frying pan each year
While we were having fun playing Dreidle
Smoke alarms were wailing everywhere
Firemen were breaking all the windows
Zeidy closed his eyes, began to pray
Those Latkes had no luck
Our mouths bit down and stuck
But Bubby made us eat them anyway

CHORUS:

Those were the nights of Chanukah
I remember long ago
When our family got together
Little eyes aglow
Multi-colored candles burning
As the joyous songs were sung
How I miss the Menorah lights
When we were all so young

Uncle Jake bought donuts by the dozen
He warned us that Aunt Bertha couldn’t bake
But Uncle Hymie ate while singing Maoz Tzur
And that was Uncle Hymie's big mistake
Our parents stood there beaming as they called us
And handed us the presents one by one
Bathed in the light
The Menorah burning bright
Sweet memories as brilliant as the sun

CHORUS

Where are those nights, full of fun, full of lights
I can still hear their laughter and songs
But though they are gone, their spirit still lives on
For Bubby's love is still alive and strong

CHORUS

Those were the nights of Chanukah
Spent with family and friends
Filled with dreams and laughter
That we thought would never end
So cherish your moments together
It’s what Bubby would have done
And we wish a happy Chanukah
To everyone

Unity by MBD Mordechai ben David Jewish Music Lyrics

Unity by MBD

Like angels in the sky in a garden full of Glory

A galaxy so brilliantly related

Ultimately high on the first page of our story

Until the time our parents were created.

Envious brother Cain

Threw a blow so mad and chilling

Tragically he never did recover

It’s really so insane all our selfishness that’s killing

That stranger who’s our sister and our brother.

Chorus:

Listen brothers, listen friends

Just a little smile a helping hand

And we all will find a loving and kind humanity.

We must teach our children to

Treat your fellow friend like they were you

And our souls will find such peace of mind and unity.

Ages rushing by writing chapters full of sorrow

Webs of self destruction we are weaving

We don’t even try, there’s no hope for our tomorrow

‘cuz what’s it all worth if we are not achieving.

Chorus:

But one thing makes me smile

Now at last a happy ending

A universal union undivided

In just a little while we will join the angels singing

With peace and love across the world united.

Dollar Bill by Megama Moshe Yess and Sholom Levine Jewish Music Lyrics

One of my favorite Megama songs. Especially with Sholom Levine on the violin, or singing it around the couch at the spontaneous kumzitz... 

Dollar Bill

One day a dollar bill went floating through the air

It flew into a synagogue and no one else was there

It landed on the Bimah and it tried to go to sleep,

But from the Aron Kodesh a voice began to speak.

“Who is in my synagogue?” the dollar bill said “I.

I’ve come here from America, there’s nothing I can’t buy

That’s why people worship me now tell me who are you?”

“My name is the Torah and all I say is true.”

“Tell me, tell me Torah, why do you seem so sad?

You live in this nice synagogue, I think you should be glad.”

“I’ve always lived with Israel,” the Torah did reply

“And my people do not listen, and I just wonder why.”

The dollar bill was laughing as it flew into the air

It flew into the street and some people gathered there,

Everyone was jumping up to get it in their hand

Everyone was jumping up in the Promised Land.

And somewhere in the synagogue very late at night

There burned an olive oil lamp, it’s the eternal light,

And from the Aron Kodesh a cry is heard once more

And if you look real close you can see the tear drops on the floor.

The Crack of Dawn MBD Mordechai ben David Jewish Music Lyrics

Trembling in the darkness
A battle field, who knows
The soldier crawls ahead
For behind him someone goes
Oh heaven!
Pounding is his heartbeat
He whispers words of prayer
It seems that all his life
In a flash may disappear

Wait the crack of dawn
As it greets the weary trooper
Now his comrades he can see
Reunited all for victory
And there beneath the sun
In a moment he has conquered
All his fear just slipped away
Like the night so swiftly turned to day

Trembling in the darkness
Praying for the light
It seems it may never come
At the darkest of the night
Oh yes!
This galus it surrounds us
A battle field who knows
We slowly inch a head
We believe its really close

Wait the crack of dawn
Bright horizon soon the sunshine
Yes Moshiach’s on his way
All the grief the sorrow slipped away
The past is but a dream
In Yerushalyim the bais hamikdosh
Yes this golus slipped away
Like the night so swiftly turned to day

Celebration,
exaltation
Young and old dancing everywhere
We believed it all
Have been (heaven) standing tall
Eternal paradise, euphoria
The past is but a dream
In Yerushalyim, the bais hamikdosh
Yes this golus slipped away
Like the night so swiftly turned to day
Pain so long forgotten,
night forever gone
Now here it is

The Little Bird is Calling

First recorded by Tzlil V'Zemer Boys Choir
Album: Wake Up Yidden
Composed at Camp Gan Israel

The little bird is calling,
It wishes to return.
The little bird is wounded,
It cannot fly but yearn.
It’s captured by the vultures,
Crying bitterly,
Oh, to see my nest again,
Oh, to be redeemed.


The little bird of silver,
So delicate and rare,
Still chirps amongst the vultures,
Outshining all that’s there.
How long, how long it suffers,
How long will it be,
When will come the eagle,
And set the little bird free.


The little bird is Yisroel,
The vultures are our foes,
The painful wound is Golus,
Which we all feel and know,
The nest is Yerushalayim,
Where we yearn to be once more,
The eagle is the Moshiach,
Whom we are waiting for.

Rain

Composed by S. Marcus, 8th Day
Album: Tracht Gut
Wishes unspoken
Desires unknown
A child cries in the darkness of her own
She’s wishin’
she’s hopin’
dreamin’ of a time
just to feel a tear of joy

So take this blessing from me
as your miracle is born
and the answer to your prayer shines tonight
may the heavens swing open
let all your heart's desires
rain down on you

I lift my hands above your head
your miracles approachin’
your tearful eyes
ever dry
yet behold the sunshine
and soon
dancin’ to happy news

Early to bed is early to rise,
you’ve seen bad
now you’re waitin’ for your prize
But you’re broken
You’re shattered
life trembles below
and I know how you feel so alone

So take this blessing from me
as your miracle is born
and the answer to your prayer shines tonight

I lift my hands above your head
your miracles approachin’
your tearful eyes
never dry
yet behold the sunshine
and soon we'll all be dancing
to happy news
