RO'IM RACHOK RO'IM SHAKUF

Tzar hayah kol kach
hayiti az muchrach
lifros k'nafaim vela'uf
el makom shebo
ulai k'mo har Nevo
ro'im rachok ro'im shakuf.

Ben adam ke'etz shatul al mayim
shoresh mevakesh
ben adam kis'neh mul hashamaim
bo bo'eret esh.

Az darki avdah
chayay hayu chidah
tzame k'mo helech bamidbar
el milat emet
sheko'ach bah latet
laset panim el hamachar.

Ben adam...

Ba'arah bi esh
yatzati levakesh
yamim sa'arti kesufah
shavti el beiti
limtzo she'at iti
ad bo haderech el sofah.

Ben adam...

SEEING SO FAR AND SO CLEARLY

So sad it was,
I had to
spread my wings and fly
To a place where,
perhaps like Har Nevo,
You see so far and so clearly.

A person is like a tree planted by water
Seeking roots
A person is like a bush beneath the sky
A fire burns within…

Then I lost my way,
my life was a riddle
I thirsted like one wandering in the desert
For a word of truth,
for the strength to give
To lift my face toward tomorrow

A person is like a tree…

A fire burned within me,
I set out to seek
I was like a storm
Then I returned home
To find you with me
All the way until the end…

A person is like a tree…
