Verse 1
From far away he hears
the prayers coming from a full synagogue
The candles are lit
and the smell of the eve of the Sabath is rising
Everybody was proud of him -
the child with the golden voice
And the end - like a lost battle - closes in on him.His mother whispered to the baby
who was shaking and crying
"You will see,
your voice will bring us great pride"
The heat from his Dad's hand as he sang and the fire in his eyes
And the end- like a lost battle - closes in on him.Chorus:
How he sings, how he sings,
They danced around him
in ecstacy he was so happy.
How he sings , how he sings,
What is left from the glamour
and all the songs that he sangVerse 2
They worshiped him like a God,
but he was only a human being
The voices he heard
in the neighbourrhood quietened slowly
Only that white fear
is winding in his veins
He wanted to fly with it but he fell.
How he sings.............
