Winter has come with the snow The Autumn has left our fall in other lands Spring soon will come and we’ll go To greet the summer sun and feel its warmth Like my father I have roamed I have seen the open road With what I’m given I will go Along the way Like my mother I have grown With the seeds that I have sown And I’ll never be alone Along the way Like my sisters they taught me About the beauty in a breeze And a laugh that never leaves Along the way With my brother standing here I won’t cry out, I won't fear I got all the love and care Along the way

I’m lost and gone so far away I’ll sing this song almost everyday I’ll search and I’ll find a way to somewhere I need to rewind to a time when I cared Chorus: Again I go fate unknown I’ll find my way back home I won’t fear though evil’s near I know I’m not alone I know I’m lost now and I’m not sure how But I’ll find the way unknown It’s been a long time without peace of mind no longer will I roam The sun will rise from the east It’s then when I lie that I begin to dream Dreams of times that could have been Dreams of what could be My lights go out memories dim Now I know I’ll soon be free (Chorus) We’re back home like days of old I walk with the airs of a free man Only to hear only to be told There’s freedom in my homeland (Chorus)

Follow me on up the mountains
 I can show you what they talkin’ about When they talkin’ ‘bout heaven 
 Drench me in sand and some sunlight
 I can show you what they talkin’ about When they talkin’ ‘bout heaven Just a little taste of heaven 
Sittin’ here with the family 
I can tell you know what I'm talkin’ ‘bout
 When I’m talkin’ ‘bout heaven End of the week on a Friday night
 And we don't get tired of talkin’ about Talkin’ ‘bout heaven 

 Just a little taste of heaven Bring me some rhythm and guitar strum I can sing you what they talkin’ about Talkin’ ‘bout heaven

Havdalah 03:23
Smoke rising from the candles Crushed spices filled with scent It’s an end it’s a beginning Last week came and last week went Chorus: It’s gonna be a good week For us and them It’s gonna be a good week For us and the rest It’s gonna be a good week For success It’s gonna be a good week Filled with salvation Pinkies in my pockets My eyebrows filled with wine Sniffed a wick no longer burning Think I can read the signs Turn the lights down low Reflect the flame on my nails Bless me please so I will succeed and won’t fail (Chorus) Please at this time Of my tranquility Let me never falter And feel I’ve broken free For if that were to happen Don’t know to whom I’d run Everything’s your creation Under the moon and sun
5.
Thank You 03:22
It’s been twenty years, this thank you is overdue Singing laughing crying tears persevered and pulled us through We stumble through life and our foundation gets confused It’s been a while but your advice has proven true Chorus: We’ll sing a thank you from the top of our hearts For all you stand for throughout our lives We’ll sing a thank you from the essence of our souls For all the love you give to our lives We’ll be your pride, we’ll be your joy And all the things a parent wishes for Caught when falling down you lift us up through our youth Instill your thoughts in my days in everything I do Wasted time seems to caress the fallen few Defy the flow of things and ride the path you choose

Old Friend 03:14
Born on the same day on the same street in the same town Two children with the same name bound to hear the same sounds Friends thick as thieves with a friendship thick as blood They grew up tall and they grew up strong with dreams beyond the mud Chorus: Hello old friend How have you been I hope your journey fared well from wherever it is you've been I hope your lot is better and your conscience free of sin And soon we’ll sing the same songs we used to sing before Old friend Old friend They moved far apart but kept in touch every now and then Both married and started families with a joy heaven sent And every few years or so when they both came face to face They’d greet each other with open arms and sing of the past days (Chorus) One day eighty years later one friend received a call The news was not good, doctors had no hope at all When G-d came to take one from the living to beyond The other held his hand and sang their blessed song Goodbye old friend We’ll meet at the other end I know your journey will fare well from down here where you've been I know your lot will be better and your conscience free of sin And soon we’ll sing the same songs we used to sing before Old friend Old friend
7.
Please Don’t take away my friends You can go on with no end But don’t take away my friends Rocks with wither hither thither The sun will simmer, melt the shining pillar Life’s yours to give and yours to take We’re forced to live and these wars they make I can smell the seconds ticking by Right before my open eyes Chorus: Please Don’t take away my friends You can go on with no end But don’t take away my friends She was the mother, sister, brother She tried to cover the fact that she suffered Though we reminisce I find I still miss Being called a prince, and jelly chocolates I got family and friends They’re my beginning and my end (Chorus) In excuse of existence I refuse in my persistence I won’t lose, I’m gonna win this You’re confused, I’m the resistance Faith can reshuffle its cards Change them threats to rewards Make the good times run by
8.
Judgment Day 04:08
The King has gone and left the field The gates will soon be closed The book of life is almost sealed I’ll pray for what I need the most I hope, I hope You hear what I have to say I hope my path is clear show me the way But I’ve been gone, I’ve since returned While there’s time Give me strength, I’ll persevere Show me a sign In a world of lies, untruths We walk alone, aloof We know what’s real It’s truth we feel

He won't let your foot falter Your Guardian does not sleep Behold the Guardian of Israel Neither slumbers nor sleeps By day the sun won't harm you Nor the moon by night The Lord will guard you from evil He will guard your soul Though the rain keeps on falling And the leaders keep on calling But the people keep on stalling To embrace their Father's faith The walls keep on wailing While the soldiers feel they're failing And everybody's sailing On unforgiving waves None of that can hold me down Sing our voices high Gather the dispersed And our banner will fly Fly again G-d is my deliverance I'm confident and will not fear G-d is my strength, my song He's been a help to me Won't forget those who sacrifice The lands are looking red How many candles can we light To remember our old friends And the rain keeps on falling And the leaders keep on calling But the people keep on stalling To embrace their Father's faith The walls keep on wailing While the soldiers feel they're failing And everybody's sailing On unforgiving waves None of that can stop me now Sing our voices high Gather the dispersed And our banner will fly Fly again

B'rinah 02:49
Translation: He who goes along crying, carrying the burden of seeds, will surely return with songs of joy, carrying his sheaves. (Psalms 126:6)
