he raised his hand to wave goodby
saw the pain i his mother's eyes
who left her little precious boy on four
in a citadel of lash and stone
that preached a faith unlike his own
perhaps he just may 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 israel
know that there is but one god above
when you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear your voice
heshem elokeinu, hashem echad


deep within the iron gate
far from the stench of war and hate
he found out that the world has gone insane
you must believe us he was told
our faith alone can save your sole
just 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
one vision of the shteitel once vivid and clear
began to fade and all but dissapear

chorus:
shema, shema israel
know that there is but one god above
when you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear your voice
heshem 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 traveled far, from place to place
a quest to reignite the faith
of those sent in to hiding long ago
he entered the fortress grand court
your kind is not among us he was told
hashem above he whispered
please don't let me fail
as he began to singing
shema israel

chorus:
shema, shema israel
know that there is but one god above
when you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear your voice
heshem elokeinu, hashem echad

chorus:
shema, shema israel
know that there is but one god above
when you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear your voice
heshem elokeinu, hashem echad
