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………..

Candles by Abie Rotenberg Performed at HASC A Time for Music #4 Lyrics

Candles

Abie Rotenberg HASC A Time for Music #4

All it takes is one small candle
One small flickering shining candle
That is all it takes to penetrate the dark
All it takes is one soft word
One soft soothing gentle word
That is all it takes to mend a broken heart

Chorus:
When we/if we/let's all put our hearts and minds together
A thousand glowing candles burning bright
Then we/we'll become a force that can’t be measured
And together we/we'll (can) drive away the night

All it takes is one small tear o
One small glistening earnest tear
That is all takes to melt a heart of stone
All it takes is one bright smile
One sweet caring loving smile
That it is all it really takes to know you’re not alone

Chorus

(Bridge)
Let’s raise our voices in harmony
Someday soon we’ll all be free
If only we could all stand together

All we have is one small dream
One small glorious hopeful dream
That is all we’ve ever had to help to pull us through
All we ask for is one more miracle
One last long awaited miracle
That is all we need to make our dreams come true

Chorus

Hey Mister by Megama Moshe Yess and Sholom Levine Lyrics

Hey Mister

Hey Mister
Megama
Moshe Yess & Sholom Levine

Hey Mister can you help me
Hey Mister do you know the way
I've only got my sleeping bag
This old bible someone threw away


I feel like I'm lost and all alone
Looking for a place to call my own
Happy people loving faces
Sittin' 'round their fire places
Wish I was there too
Wish I was there too

Hey mister can you help me
Hey mister do you know the way
I come from a troubled home
Got so bad I had to run away

I'm cold out here standing in the snow
Watching all the lucky ones who know
Happy people loving faces
Sittin' 'round their fire places
Wish I was there too
Wish I was there too..

Hey mister can you help me
Hey mister do you know the way
I'm looking for a synagogue
Someone who can show me how to pray

I feel like im going round and round
Looking for a thing I've never found
Happy people loving faces
Sittin' 'round their fire place
Wish I was there too
Wish I was there too

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…..

It's Shabbos Now 8th Day Chasing Prophecy Jewish Music Lyrics

It's Shabbos Now
8th Day (Shmuli and Bentzi Marcus)
Album: Chasing Prophecy

Through the oceans and the rivers
Through every single door
No matter what the soldiers said
Or how the rain would pour

Zaide always kept a smile
And wiped our tears away
Nothing could ever bring him down
 When he'd start to say -

Chorus:
It's Shabbos now, Shabbos now...
 And we'll sing Ay Ay Ay
(Mah yedidus menuchosaich Shabbos hamalkah)
Fill your goblets to the top with royal kiddush wine
Invite your family and your neighbors, it's now your time

Up winding stairs and broken dreams
Papa tries to sell a little more
A penny here a penny there
Mama cries in clothes she tore.

Zaide always kept a smile 
And wiped her tears away
Soon things will turn around
And soon we're gonna say -

Chorus
(Mei'ein olam habboh yom Shabbos menucha kol hamis'angim boh yizku l'rov simcha) 

On a palm beach isle not far from here
They gathered to celebrate
Eighty years a life of courage
Through times of senseless hate

Zaide always kept his smile
And wiped our tears away
 He promised us there'll come a time
 When we'll always say -
Chorus
(Pedusainu satzmiach venos yagon va'anacha)

The King of Tony's Jewish Music Lyrics from Destiny by Eli Nathan performed by Gershon Veroba

King of Tony’s

In the dimly lit pool hall clouds of smoke hung low

As the smell of leather jackets mixed with cheap cologne

Leaning on a table a young man in his teens,

sharp eyes, skilled hands, pool cue, and designer jeans.

But there’s another table, decked out in satin white

With an empty place by father’s side on this Friday night

And mother’s waiting hopefully by the window sill

For Dovi boy who's shootin' pool in Tony’s Bar and Grill

Where have you gone? Gone so far?

We still love you even though you may be far,

Far away…

Super cool and accurate he’d win and never lose

Everyone at Tony’s knows him as the King of the Cues

As mother’s praying silently, who will save his soul?

Dovi shoots a backspin to a tune of Billy Joel.

Sometimes late at night he sits back inside the haze

Thinking of the times gone by, those old yeshiva days

He remembers them quite clearly, it was the when he turned 15

Those sharp, warm, embracing eyes of his rebbe, Rabbi Green.

Dovi, he could hear him say. You’ll be a Talmid Chochom, one day …

Where have you gone?………

Stranger entered Tony’s, late one Sunday night

Rack ‘em up he said, I’m gonna beat the king tonight

Wearing cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and talking really mean

But in the dim smoky light his face could not be seen

Shot after shot, boy, this guy was no fake

Dovi started sweatin' his reputation was at stake

The stranger had one easy shot left to win the game

Dovi knew he’d lose and things would never be the same

An amazing thing then happened, the stranger missed the shot

The crowd thought it was an accident Dovi knew that it was not

This guy had given him the game but why he wished he knew

Dovi pulled away from the cheering crown and said:

Hey thanks man, but who are you?

The stranger said perhaps it would be best to step outside

So they made their way out through the crowd to the street and to the light

And Dovi saw him stare at him with eyes he once had seen

The sharp embracing stare, the eyes of Rabbi Green

The two of them stood silently looking into each other’s eyes

Dovi was the first one to break the ice

Hey Rebbe, that was the meanest game of pool I ever did see

But what made you come here on this night to play - a bum like me

Dovi the Rebbe said, you’re no bum, ‘cause I know you and where you’re coming from

It’s never too late to change, don’t you see... The King of Tony’s was once me!

There’s a yeshiva out of town, now a source of pride and fame

The Rosh Yeshiva’s a Talmid Chacham, Reb Dov is his name

And during recess there’s a pool table where students like to play

But no one’s beat the Rosh Yeshiva till this very day.

Benny Friedman singing "As a Jew" or "I don't wanna change my name"

I like the fact there's the guy playing the midget guitar, on account of as a Moshe Yess song it needs a little twang or country-ism, and that little instrument provides that. As always, Benny is good.

"Someday" by MBD Mordechai Ben David

"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 mindBut 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

"As a Jew" or "I don't wanna change my name" Moshe Yess/ Megama (Lyrics)

As a Jew / I don't wanna change my name

Megama / Moshe Yess & Sholom Levine
performed by Benny Friedman on Yess Legacy

I don’t wanna change my name 
I got nothing to be ashamed of 
Got no secrets from you. 
I came in the world this way 
And I’m goin’ out the same 
Gonna live my life and die as a Jew. 

As a Jew, as a Jew, 
I got nothing to apologize to you 
I’m the son of Abraham, I believe in the promised land 
Shouldn’t you? Shouldn’t you? Shouldn’t you? 

Noah built the ark, Moses went up on Mount Sinai, 
Daniel made it through the lion’s den. 
With a little faith in G-d they all made it through their troubles 
‘Cause a little faith in G-d will always win. 

And it’s true, and it’s true... I got nothing to apologize to you 
I’m the son of Abraham, I believe in the promised land 
Shouldn’t you? Shouldn’t you? Shouldn’t you? 

As a Jew, as a Jew, I got nothing to apologize to you 
I’m the son of Abraham, I believe in the promised land 
Shouldn’t you? Shouldn’t you? Shouldn’t you? Shouldn’t you?
Shouldn’t you?

Beggar Woman

Megama/ Moshe Yess & Shlolom Levine
also recorded by 8th Day

Today, she was sitting on the street
Sorrow in her eyes, a tin can at her feet
Holes in her stockings and holes in her shoes
She’s an old beggar woman no stranger to bad news

I reached in my pocket to give a bill or two
In my heart I was trying to see what I could do
She thanked me for the money, I turned to walk away
But I waited for a moment as she began to say

Chorus:G-d loves the widow and the orphan and the blind 
The old and the needy who haven’t got a dime 
G-d loves the sickly, in his eyes we’re all the same 
And G-d he loves you too just call upon His name

I don’t know where she came from, I don’t know her at all
But the wrinkles on her face, they kinda tell it all 
So reach in your pocket and give a bill or two 
And you can thank G-d in Heaven that the beggar isn’t you.

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

Close your eyes, imagine

And no Jew will be left behind
no tears will be left to be cried
no power or pain

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

to bring the lonliness 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....
