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

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

Let's Change the World Today Avraham Fried Performed with Benny Friedman at HASC A Time for Duets Lyrics


Let's Change the World Today

Avraham Fried

Some people say the world has gone bad
Evil has stolen the day
Some people say to throw in the towel
I dont feel that way
'Cuz every good deed that you do
And every kind word that you say
has a away to change the world

Chorus:

There is so much we can do to make this world
a kinder better happier place
There is so much we can do to change the world
Let's change the world today

That day in September changed our lives
The darkest day by far
They broke our heart but woke up our soul
We'll show them who we are
'Cuz we are towers of light
And we have the power to do what is right
Let's illuminate the night

chorus

You don't need a reason or season my friend
You don't need fortune or fame
Go out of your way, make someone's day
Now that's the name of the game
'Cuz every kind deed that you do
And every kind word that you say
Has a way to change the world

chorus

So step up to the plate
And celebrate your freedom
The world is not a jungle
So dont bungle your chance
And if youre tired of the world as it lies
Remember that one good deed is better than a thousand sighs

Forever One Lyrics Title Track Avraham Fried Jewish Music


Forever One

Avraham Fried
Forever One
Composed by Yossi Green

Look inside through the heart of a Jew
Open up its many doors
And the soul that you'll see there inside
Is a reflection of yours
For each soul is a part of one whole
That joins us to each other
We are all part of one another
And we have always been one

We began as a nation to live
And believe with one heart
You and i we were all gathered there
As one we said we'll do and hear
We were born to belong together
And forever be one

Forever one we will go far
It's not I am but who we are
We need just to believe it
We need to try and feel it
And never are we alone
We have each other as our own
Nothing can divide us
For we are forever one

These are times when we might drift apart
And go our own separate ways
But the spark from above that we share
Is alive and ablaze
Soon Moshiach will gather each spark
And shine away the darkness
He will gather us all together
And we shall ever be one

My Fellow Jew Lyrics Title Track Avraham Fried


My Fellow Jew

Avraham Fried My Fellow Jew

G-d smiled in heaven but His joy was not complete
The angels were singing but their song had no wings
The world was freshly painted yet the sky was feeling blue
Something, something just wasn’t right

Then with you came a G-dly light
That made the world complete
You gave the world its heart
You gave the world its soul
Now G-d can call this place his home
For now there was you
My brother, my fellow Jew

Chorus:
So with all my heart and soul let me honor you
A gentle people with a faith of steel
You teach the world how to live and how to give and how to believe
If I could look into your heart I would see the face of G-d

You have weathered all the storms they’ve all come and gone
You are the unsung heroes of the world
And you were born of ancient days and you will go on and on
I’ve seen miracles before but the greatest of them all is you my fellow Jew

Who can count the teardrops that have fallen from your eyes
And who would dare to measure the pain that you have known
Yet here you are undaunted with a mission and a dream
You carry on when hope is gone
All that you live for will come true

And so when at times I’m feeling weak
It’s you who makes me strong
And when at times I cannot speak
You become my song
I know I can do the impossible
When I think of you, my brother, my fellow Jew

So with all my heart………..

No Jew Will Be Left Behind Avraham Fried Title Track Lyrics

No Jew Will Be Left Behind

There are times I wonder
and I dream about the day
when everything is grand
home in our land
we have awaited and believed in for so long

Close your eyes, imagine
as we gaze with awe and pride
together we behold
true is the gold
of Yerushalayim, Ir Hakodesh, shining high and strong

And no Jew will be left behind
no tears will be left to be cried
no power or pain
will send us back again
we are home and forever this time
and standing proud as we pray
as ever we live for that day
when galus will
be but a distant memory
and no Jew will be left behind

Though the days seem empty
we can fill them all with mitzvos
knowing that each deed
is all we need
to bring the loneliness of galus to its end

There is none too lowly
or too lost to lend a hand
together as we try
look to the sky
and you will see a Bais Hamikdosh burning
waiting to descend

and no Jew will be....

"Keep Climbing" Avraham Fried Jewish Music Lyrics Video Slideshow



Keep Climbing
from the album by the same name
side note: It's a smash hit album. Fried's a musical genius.
'Don't let nothing' stop you from buying this album and loving it

Fried Life is a mountain we must climb
We don’t have forever just the time He gives us
Get to the top if you can
This is the challenge of man

Yes, you might fall and tumble down
Sometimes that happens when you dare
Knowing you my child
You’ll pick yourself up and start again from there

Chorus
Keep climbing
don’t let nothing stand in your way
Keep believing
Pay no attention to what they say
Up is where you want to go
It’s dark and lonely down below

Keep fighting
This is one fight you won’t regret
Keep believing
You’ve got what it takes, now don’t forget
Up is where you belong
It’s where your soul will find her song

Make sure you take one step at a time
Remember that surrender is the road to no end
Be proud of how far you’ve come
You said it couldn’t be done

Dig in and breathe out there’s more to climb
To give up now would be such an awful shame
Give it all you’ve got my child
You don’t want to lose all that you have gained

Chorus

There’s no thrill when standing still
But there is a way when there is a will
Touch the divine
Continue to climb

Don't Hide From Me Avraham Fried Jewish Music Videos Lyrics Ohel Concert



Don't Hide From Me
Avraham Fried
Album: Bracha V'Hatzlacha (1995)
Performed in this video at the Ohel Concert 5758 at Madison Square Gardens
In an awesome vest

Don't hide from me,
Though I know that you are truly there, everywhere
Still in all I cannot see you, don't hide from me
It's been so long since last time saw you smile

Don't hide from me,
Where's the promise you would take my hand to understand,
My life is not complete without you don't hide from me
I need to see you more than ever now

Two thousand years is a million years too long
To search for the light that I have never known
Show me your face, I need your embrace
Won't you please come out of your hiding place,
Take me on your wing, teach me how to sing
The one song the world wants to hear, oh father dear.

Don't hide from me,
It seems you're hiding more and more each day, why I pray,
I keep looking, you keep hiding, I feel so alone,
I'm calling to you Father please come home.

Who would believe
The walls of darkness finally have come down all around,
But the walls that stand between us don't want to fall,
Tell me the final secret to it all

Don't hide from me, is my one and only plea,
Father can't you see I'm calling desperately
Show me your face…..

"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

"Memories" by Abie Rotenberg Journeys 2 (Lyrics)

Memories by Abie Rotenberg

I’m a very tired old and worn out man
And my eyes have long been blind
Most things that people say to me
Just seem to slip my mind
But the suffering and painful times
That were in years long gone
Are still as clear upon my memory
As the numbers on my arm 

What will become of all the memories
Are they to scatter with the dust in the breeze
Who will stand before the world
Knowing what to say
When the very last survivor
Fades away

When I hold my grandson close to me
And his fingers trace the pattern of my tears
He asks me Zaide
Tell me why do you cry
What is it that you fear

And I tell him there once was another child
Who smelled this sweet and felt this warm
But he was taken from before my eyes
And only I remain to mourn

What will become of all the memories
Are they to scatter with the dust in the breeze
And who will stand before a world
That now wishes to deny
How will they believe in someone
Who never heard the cries

There is little I can say or do
To make things change
Time has a way of passing by so fast
And like a fleeting shadow no one will recall
The faces of the past

What will become of all the memories
Are they to scatter with the dust in the breeze
Yet one thought gives me comfort
It’s all that I have left
For I know that God in heaven won’t forget

Father Don't Cry

Composition and Lyrics by Avraham Fried
This Way or That Way / Bein Kach 2006

I will never forget
the night I saw my father cry
I was frightened and alone
and his tears were burning in my eyes
deep in my soul
I held him tight
and tried to ease the pain

Father in heaven
it's no secret at all
when You think of Your children
how far they are from home
two tender tears fall from Your eyes
and Your cries shake the world
I cannot bear to see You this way

Father don't cry
I love You too much to see You in pain
and and only You Who created tears
can wipe them away forever
so bring on the day
when there'll be only joy
You and I will smile
bring on the day
when there'll be be no more tears
we'll never cry again

I know it's tears of love
but still it hurts me just the same
You have always held my hand
and now I want to hold Yours too
and be there for You
don't You agree
it's time to send the tears away

Father in heaven
there's no reason at all
Your precious children
still are so far from home
we've done all we can
now it's in Your hands
let it end, oh, let it end,
the whole world is waiting for You

Father don't cry
I love You too much to see You in pain
and and only You who created tears
can wipe them away forever
so bring on the day
when there'll be only joy
You and I will smile
bring on the day
when there'll be be no more tears
we'll never cry again

umocho Hashem Elokim dimah me'al kol panim...

A Small Piece of Heaven

Some people wonder

Others may say

Whenever adversity passes their way

Let me run let me hide

Oh I must close my eyes

By the time that they’re open it just might fade away

But not you dear friends

you know just what to do

When faced with a challenge

you always come through

And you’ve painted a smile

on the face of a child

Helping to make sure

that his dreams come true


Chorus:


There’s a small piece of heaven in everyone’s heart

a glorious gift from above

it will sparkle and shine if we each do our part

to reach out and touch it with love

So we thank you tonight

for doing your share

for the gift of bright sunshine

and fresh country air

but although that’s a fact

you’ve done much more than that

you’ve shown these dear

children just how much


Chorus


Yes you’ve shown once again

were united and strong

but the hour is late time is moving along

So till next year dear friends

when we meet here again

lets raise up pour voices

and sing out this song


Chorus
