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
