He raised his hand to wave goodbye Saw the pain in mother's eyes Who left her little precious boy of four In a citadel of ashen stone That preached a faith unlike his ow Perhaps he may just yet survive this war
In the shadows stood a man in black My child he said, you must not look back Yet one image lingered, the tears on her face And mother's words from their last embrace
CHORUS: Shema, Shema Yisrael Know that there is but one G-d above When you feel pain, when you rejoice Know how He longs to hear your voice Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad
Deep within the iron gate Far from the stench of war and hate He knew not of a world gone insane You must believe us, he was told Our faith alone can save your soul Please let us heal your wounds and ease your pain He tried not to forget his past, his home But he was so very young and all alone While visions of his shtetl, so vivid and clear Began to fade, and all but disappeared
CHORUS: Shema, Shema Yisrael Know that there is but one G-d above When you fel pain, when you rejoice Know how He longs to hear you voice Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad
The winds of war had finally passed One man took on a sacred task To bring the scattered Jewish children home He travelled far, from place to place A quest to reignite the faith Of those sent into hiding long ago
He entered the fortress grey and cold Your kind is not among us, he was told Hashem above, he whispered, please don't let me fail As he began to sing Shema Yisrael
CHORUS: Shema, Shema Yisrael Know that there is but one G-d above When you feel pain, when you rejoice Know how He longs to hear your voice Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad
Shema, Shema Yisrael Know that there is but one G-d above When you feel pain, when you rejoice Know how He longs to hear your voice Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad
