1. Something Different The secret hidden in your heart Music and Lyrics by Ari Goldwag Hashem has been there from the start Waiting for you patiently There's something different in the air to open up your destiny Things are changing everywhere All the walls are crumbling down All you need to see His hand Emptiness is all around to begin to understand Move beyond your selfish drive Angry voices serenade Reveal the love you have inside tauntingly their music plays Somewhere in the raucous din Chorus A quiet voice is there within 2. Angels Out Chorus: Music and Lyrics by Dror Kivodi Clear away the layers of anger and sorrow Open up your heart to the gift of tomorrow We all run around and live these crazy lives Find the love, accept what you're given with Desperately we need to find some peace of mind gladness Peace of mind Open up the door and escape from your sad- ness The darkness that surrounds us day and night Can be banished with a bit of candlelight The darkness that surrounds us now Candlelight Is a chance, I'll show you how to uncover endless light Chorus: Lift your wings, begin your flight There are angels out tonight Won't you welcome them inside In the darkest depths of night Reserve a space in time When it seems no hope's in sight To sanctify your life It's that very place you'll find The still, fine voice of peace of mind These wounded hearts can slowly start to heal We just need to touch and feel something real Chorus Something real 3. Chanukah Light 4. Your smile Music and Lyrics by Ari Goldwag Music by Ari Goldwag Walking in the darkness, sorrow all around Lyrics by Leah Rubabshi Looking for some joy, for a hopeful sound Just when I start to give up, seems there's noth- When nights are long and skies are looking grey ing there And times are rough 'cuz clouds get in the way A little glow appears, shining from nowhere One look at you, and in just a little while I find my strength when I see your smile Chorus: Your eyes are sunshine, your heart is sweet and pure Chanukah light burns so bright You give me hope when I feel so unsure Lifts my soul raises my sights You stand up tall ignoring all the pain Chanukah light feels so right And reach up high while moving past the rain Eight small flames shining through the night Chorus: The darkness starts to lift now, help is on its Your smile says more than words could ever say way Watching you, the clouds all blow away Hopelessness is starting to fade away You are more than all the world can see I lift my eyes to heaven where my help is from You are everything to me The light, now, from the flames shines for eve- ryone There's no mistake, we do our best each day The cards we're dealt can be so hard to play Chorus But then I see the spark you have inside You smile your smile, the whole world opens wide Bridge: You take my hand, my heart begins to sing The light is piercing through the darkness You give me joy with all the love you bring Shining 'til forever And during times when life can get me down There's hope and love and brotherhood I look at you, my whole world turns around. That's bringing us together Open up your heart, make a brand new start Chorus Chanukah's the time to take part Chorus 5. Up To You Now And you hear me sing, and you try to hear the words Music and Lyrics by Dror Kivodi But you never understand, you never learn Our world, my friend, is going up in flames I've walked your streets, I know your face Is there any other way, is there any other way I've followed you around from place to place And stepping from the shadows of your mind Chorus There's much you'd like to hide, there's much you'd like to hide Bridge: Somehow, somewhy, somewhere, And you hear me sing, someone's gonna call your name but you never hear the words Stand up, say your lines now nice and strong Through all the traffic, nothing's ever heard 'Cuz everybody's got a role But can't you hear the beating of your heart that they were born to play Don't you realize who you are, It's up to you now to perform don't you realize who you are And everywhere you go, you know, Chorus: you will find your way There's never gonna be anyone like you Something's gonna show where you belong No one's gonna sing your tune Yeah, everybody's got that road No one's gonna be what you've got to be that they were born to take No one's gonna be like you It's up to you to move along There is a gift you've got to give No one's gonna give but you 6. Take Me Home There is but one life that you have to live Music and Lyrics by Miriam Israeli No one's gonna live but you It's up to you now Every Jew, no matter where Dreams of a land we hold so dear As I reflect upon the mirrors of your heart A land so rich with heritage I understand the paradox you are A land for which we yearn And watching from the corner of my eye Our roots run deep beneath this land I know you'd like to try, Through mountain peaks and desert sands I know you'd like to try The fields of green, the ancient ruins All beckoning, "Return." And every Jewish heart calls out in prayer: Now's the time to dance, now's the time to sing Take me home to the land of lands Get into the habit now, forget 'most everything Take me home where the kotel stands Don't wait 'til tomorrow when there's no more sorrow Take me home, take me home. Dance today, dance anyway, until the tears all go away Take me home, to the bluest skies Take me home, where my prayers can rise Chorus: Take me home, take me home. Forever dance, yes it's the forever dance Dancing now together, dancing 'til forever Three times a day we'll turn this way All of us will join as one, dancing with the Holy One Our hearts will pray, our lips will say Forever dance, yes it's the forever dance Im eshkachech, I can't forget Dancing with each other, all of us as brothers the land where I belong It's so special can't you see, The holiness felt all around won't you come and dance with me Our history speaks from the ground Our past and our future merge And if we practice while we can, in one majestic song even in this darkness land Even as the exile continues to expand And every Jewish soul calls out in prayer: When the time has truly come, Take me home where the mountains sing and the job has all been done Take me home where my soul takes wing We'll all join our hands and dance together as one Take me home, take me home. in the... Take me home, where our fathers dwelt Take me home, where the kedusha's felt Chorus Take me home, take me home. We'll join the righteous' circle dance, Take me home where a Jew can rest 'cuz we've practiced in advance Take me home where the land is blessed Pointing all together toward forever Take me home, take me home Joining now such joy we'll see, To Eretz Yisroel singing with such ecstasy Open up your hearts and you can all join with me 7. Forever Dance in the... Music and Lyrics by Ari Goldwag Concept: Benny Friedman Chorus 8. Teiman But I knew I couldn't find you, Music and Lyrics by Miriam Israeli I was helpless with despair We asked where you'd been buried, From Teiman to Eretz Yisroel, so we'd have a place to cry we crossed the desert sand But so many of our questions Our eyes and hearts were shining were answered with a lie with the hope of the promised land Now the tearing pain of loss r But our dreams were cruelly shattered, emains with us throughout the years so mistaken was our trust And my heart continues grieving, For our heritage was taken no, I can not stop the tears and trampled in the dust Our legacy was laughed at, Chorus our costumes met with scorn Our clothes were made a mockery, Were you taught to read the Alef Beis, our payos cruelly shorn do you say Shema at night And so many of our children Have you felt the joy of Shabbos disappeared without a trace when the candles are alight And my eldest son was stolen Do you know you were Bar Mitzvah, now no one can fill his place on Yom Kippur, do you fast Were you told that you are rooted Chorus: in a proud and ancient past Where are you today Do you know you have a family my child for whom I pray whom you haven't even met I wonder if you're happy, They ask about you always, they never will forget I wonder if you know that And each Friday night, I pray for you, You belong to someone else, when the Shabbos candles shine you belong to me For a mother is forever, and forever you'll be mine I recall that bitter moment 9.
