Daily Thought

It is not so much that we need to be taken out of exile. It is that the exile must be taken out of us. —The Rebbe

Tzivos Hashem - The Official Jewish Songbook   
Over 30 lyrics to Jewish songs relating to Moshiach, including classics like Just one Shabbos, The Little Bird is Calling and No Jew Will Be Left Behind

No Jew Will Be Left Behind

There are times I wonder
And I dream about the day
When everything is grand
Home in the land
We have awaited and believed in for so long.

Close your eyes, imagine
As we gaze with awe and pride
Together we behold
True is the gold
Of Yerusholayim ir hakodesh
Shining high and strong.

Chorus:
No Jew will be left behind
No tear will be left to be cried
No power or pain
Will send us back again
We are home
And forever this time.

And standing proud as we pray
As ever we live for that day
When golus will be
But a distant memory
And no Jew will be left behind.

Though the days seem empty
We can fill them all with Mitzvos
Knowing that each deed
Is all we need
To bring the loneliness of golus to it’s end.

There is none to lonely
Or to lost to lend a hand
Together as we try
Look to the sky
And we will see the bais hamikdosh burning
Waiting to descend.

Listen My Child
(T.T.T.O. Keil Adon—Shlomo Carlebach)

Listen my child, I’ll tell you
Wipe off your tears and hear
No longer any need to worry
No one should you ever fear.

Kamayim layom michasim
G-dliness everywhere
Melech HaMoshiach
Will lay all secrets bare.

Listen my child, I’ll tell you
Wipe off your tears and hear
Yofutzu mayanosecho chutzo
The way to bring Geulah near.

The call’s already sounded
The Rebbe leads the way
With Geulah as his goal
Every single day.

 

Two Thousand Years

Two thousand years, suffering and tears

So many Mitzvoswe cannot fulfill

Elokus we want to see

A time when kulam yeidu oisee.

Niflaos we see, a Gulf victory
Yidden from Russia are able to flee
Hinei ze bo, Moshiach is here
The Rebbe’s message, loud and clear.

I’ve done all I’m able to do
Now, Yidden, it’s up to you
Scream for Geulah with all your might
But do it with emeskeit.

 

It’s Gonna Be The Little Kinderlach

So you want to know who’s gonna bring Moshiach
Well I’ll tell you I’ll tell you
It’s not gonna be the business man
Or the wealthy man or the famous man oh no.

Chorus:
It’s gonna be the little kinderlach
The little, little, little kinderlach
It’s gonna be the little kinderlach
Who’ll make Moshiach come.

The little boy who goes to yeshiva
And learns Hashem’s Torah
To understand
He’ll make him come.

The little girls who sings Birchas hamozon
And says every word
With holy kavana
She’ll make him come.

Chorus:

The little boy who wears his talis kattan
And kisses his tzitzis
When he says the shema
He’ll make him come.

The little girl who davens each morning
And gives her allowance
Away for tzedka
She’ll make him come.

Chorus:

The little boy who stays in shul
And stands with his father
To listen to the Torah
He’ll make him come.

The little girl who goes ever Shabbos
To visit the sick
And the lonely old people
She’ll make him come.


We Are Ready

Once in a kingdom
There lived a mighty king who loved his nation
Lost below they had wondered far and wide
Searching for a way to be return.

And watching helplessly he tried
To whisper to their hearts the only answer
It’s not a road but a path you must find
All I need to hear are the words.

Chorus:
We are ready, yes we’re ready
So lead us and we’ll go
Let the whole world know
It is done, we are one, and we’re ready
Young and old will join us as we sing.

It’s over, yes it’s over
With all we had to do
We still came shining through
And we know, yes we know, we are ready
Feel the power of what we can bring.

Now that the ending has begun
Now that the time has come to end the story
All the things we have to do are done
We are ready now to be heard.

And so we come to you as one
We’re standing hand in hand we’re going stronger
Looking now we can see how far we’ve come,
Just believe in us hear the words.

Chorus:
Ohh Lelle
Please join and along
Sing my song
Moshiach is coming
And it won’t be long.

So clap your hands
And tap your feet
Moshiach is coming
You’ll be dancing in the street.

 

Ooh le le

Ooh le lay
Moshiach is coming
And he’s coming to stay.

It’s in the air
It’s everywhere
Moshaich is coming
Let’s brake out in cheer.

Ooh le…

So clap your hands
And tap your feet
When you hear the news
Your heart will beat.

It’s everywhere
It’s on the billboard signs
I read about Moshiach
In the New York Times.

Ooh le..

 

Footsteps

Can you hear the footsteps of Moshiach
Can you hear him closer loud and strong
Can you hear the sounds of children laughing
Everyone has come to join along.

Can you hear the shofar echo his arrival
Can you see the eagle soaring in the sky
Can you tell me why the world will be so happy
Please be so kind and tell me why.

For soon Moshiach will come
And he will take everyone
Hand in hand to the promised land
Moshiach will come
And soon he’ll take everyone
Hand in hand to the promised land.

 When Moshiach comes

We’re gonna dance and sing out loud
When Moshiach comes
When Moshiach comes
When Moshiach comes
Let the whole world know what you’re singing about
When Moshiach comes, hope he’ll come right now.

Imagine…

A world of peace
No more wars
Keeping Shabbos, kosher and more
Sure hope he comes right now
Right now.

All the Mitzvos from
Hashem above
Time to learn the Torah we love
All this when Moshiach comes.

We’re gonna dance through the streets and shout
When Moshiach comes
When Moshiach comes
When Moshiach comes
Let the whole world know what we’re singing about
When Moshiach comes
Sure hope he comes right now.

 

Miracles

Do you stop and wonder
What’s going on
Do you remember happy days,
Where have they gone
Life goes so fast
Nothing seems to last
People feel the squeeze is on
It’s really a shame.

Can you hear the thunder
Feel the pain
So many tragedies disasters
So insane
There seems to be no end
To this horrifying trend
And everyone you talk to
Feels the same.

Chorus:
But many happy days are coming now
Why don’t you listen to me
We’ll all be singing, dancing, laughing
Everybody just you wait and see
Miracles amazing wonders
Like no one’s ever seen before
It’s finally that magic moment
We have all been waiting for.

All the senseless hating
Who knows why
When there is so much good to see
Shouldn’t we try
And rather than neglect
Just admire and respect
Must we feel like strangers
If we really are one.

It’s so irritating
Like a thorny rose
A generation so confused
Where everything goes
Where right and wrong’s the same
Every sin has lost it’s shame
Perhaps the final chapter’s just begun.

Chorus:

Ther’s no denying
That the feeling’s low
You feel the preasure
Got the blues
What do you know
We seek a helping hand
It’s so hard to understand
How life can turn so vicious
So absurd and unfair.

We were millions dying
In the camps of gas
While all the nations of the world
Let it all pass
Despite the rage of tears
We have suffered all these years
Never we’ll surrender to despair.

Chorus:

 

We’re In The Army

We’re in the army we’re ready to fight
Our camps are protected day and night
By doing the Mitzvoswe’ll win this war
And there won’t be Golus anymore.

So Yetzer Hora listen to me
Don’t waste your time bothering me
We’re marching on to victory
With Moshiach speedily.

 

Yerusholayim

Bireishis at the dawn of time
A vision so divine
Reveals a nation yet to be
Beside them all the world would pale
For they are Yisroel
A shining light for all to see.

And they would come together
Pledge their love forever
Tying there knot at har sinai
The dawn was the land
Of milk and honey and
The joy it would bring as time went by
From Egypt liberation through the splitting see
The nation of the land retreating fearfully
The might walls did crumble at the shofar blow
Yericho fell and finally our home land was in view.

Chorus:
Yerusholayim, we will never leave you
Now and forever hear and soul we need you
Our life and our prayer the dream that lives inside of us
City of our fathers we will never let you go.

Once upon a mountain high
He heard the angels cry
As they behold the akeida
And knowing what his father taught
Dovid hamelech bought
The holy mountain moriyah.

His son worked endlessly and so it came to be
A bais hamikdosh build of purest gold
Kings would come from far and wide
And coast away their pride
They did proclaim to young and old
There’s only one Rebono Shel Olam
If we had only listened we would still be one
With eretz Yisroel and all that we have lost
How soon did we forget it all and oh at what a cost.

Chorus:

Now it’s been two thousand years
And as we fight the tears
We miss you dearly one and all
The agonies we’ve survived
And yet we still arrive
To find the answers at your walls
We fought so hard to make you home
For you and ours alone
No matter what the world may say
We will not forsake you no they’ll never take you
For we are your soul and till this day
Deep inside our hearts we know that it will be
We’ll rise again for all the world to see
And as we do our bayis will descend in fire
To light the streets again and to fulfill the worlds desire.

Chorus:

 

At The Threshold Of New Times

At the threshold of new times
We await the final sign
One more step beyond these doors
Our Geulah.

Take the golden key in hand
With this strength we’re in command
Every door now brakes way
Limits fade.

Join in as one heed our melech’s call
It’s up to me and you
The power of simcha will prove Geulah true.

Thousands of voices our goal united
Passed and present years
With rhapsody of joy Moshiach’s here.

Zeide

My Zeide lived with us in my parents’ home
He used to laugh he put me on his knee
He spoke about his life in Poland
He spoke but with a bitter memory.

And he spoke about the soldiers who would beat him
They laughed at him they tore his long black coat
And he spoke about a synagogue
That they burned down
And the crying that was heard beneath the smoke.

But Zeide made us laugh Zeide make us sing
And Zeide made us kiddush Friday nights
And Zeide oh my Zeide how I loved him so
And Zeide used to teach me wrong from right.

His eyes lit up when he would teach me Torah
He taught me every line so carefully
He spoke about our slavery in Egypt
And how G-d took us out to make us free.

And as winter went by
Then summer came along
I went to camp to run and play
And when I came back home they said "Zeide’s gone"
And all his books were packed and stored away.

I don’t know how or why it came to be
It happened slowly over many years
We just stopped being Jewish like my Zeide was
And no one cared enough to shed a tear.

Many winters went by many summers came along
And now my children sit in front of me
And who will be the Zeide of my children?
Who will be the Zeide if not me?
Who will be the Zeide of our children?
Who will be the Zeide if not we?

Golus Good-bye

I’ve asked the wise
They say golus is a blessing in disguise
A greater light follows the night
But it’s been so long, it feels so wrong
It’s not where we belong.

Brothers and friends,
We must bring this golus to an end
Our urgent cries will pierce the skies
Tell Hashem, ad mosai - till when.

Chorus:
Golus it’s time for you to go, good-bye
Bring down the curtain on the show, good-bye
You’re lasting much to long no one can deny
Enough is enough it’s time to say good-bye.

So open wide your prison doors, good-bye
We are your prisoners no more, good-bye
You can not stop us now, so don’t even try
Good-bye, good-bye, it’s time to say good-bye.

Father and king,
Everything is you and you are everything
But the golus lies and blinds our eyes
Why can’t we see Your majesty undisguised.

In the heavens high
All the angels tremble when they hear You cry
For every Jew, all we’ve been through
Till we are home You’re in golus too.

Yerusholayim a Place to Live

Come let us sing the song of a city
Known for its beauty, splendor and grace
Come let us find the words to describe her
She is not like any other place.

Yerusholayim the place to live
Yerusholayim horim soviv
Yerusholayim shel shalom
Yerusholayim we’re going home.

Walk down a street named for the tzaddik
Who lived by this very road
Step into a shul you almost can hear
The words of the sages speaking
The wisdom of old.

Where else in this world can you find a wall
Whenever you touch it - it touches you
Reach for its stones
They’re moist with the tears
Of our hopes and our dreams that we know
Will soon come true.

Travel the land, the mountains and valleys
There is a story behind each stone
But when you return, your heart will rejoice
As bruchim haboim appears
And you know you’re home.

The Promise

Close your eyes
And visualize
What will be when Moshiach will come
The sun will shine
All the time
That will be when Moshiach will come
The whole world will live in perfect harmony
Together as one big happy family.

Guns and swords they won’t be found
They’ll be used to plow the ground
Army planes and army tanks you see
They’ll be part of history
No more will there be any wars.

And I promise you Moshiach will come
And when he does he’ll take everyone
Just open your eyes what a big surprise
We’re in Jerusalem.

Walking down the street
Diamonds at your feet
See the lions living with the sheep
The world is filled with integrity
What a time and place for one to be
All the sick are healed
Once Hashem’s revealed
And in a flash of an eye
All this will be real.

And I promise you…

 Twilight

Twilight surrounding His kingdom
He beckons all his children towards home.
We have witnessed creation, both present and past
And now the future’s unfolding at last.

The clouds will part, the rays shine through
Six thousand suns will blaze anew.
On wings so wide, westward we’ll soar.
We’re all here standing just moments before.

Reach out and taste, part of tomorrow
The time is ripe, it’s all so near.
Just moments now before it’s through
Toameha chayim zochu


What Can We Do

What can we do, that will help bring Moshiach

Unite ourselves with Ahavas Yisroel
Understanding and respecting each other
Our mikdash will then be rebuiled.

Chorus:
Oh Moshiach, how we want you now

We’ve waiting we’ve hoped and we prayed
Every yid is calling melech Moshiach
Ad mosai, how long must we wait.

Oh Moshiach, how we want you now
Hurry and open the gates
Please return us to our homeland Yisroel
Ad mosai, how long must we ait.


In A Village Near Our Home

In a village near our home works a carpenter alone
He’s been carving wood for years shtenders, shelves and chairs
Daily buyers come and go but there’s one thing they don’t know
His thoughts so far away while waiting for that special day.

There is a dream of vision deep within his heart
That he’ll rebuild the Bais Hamikdosh part by part
Doing Mitzvos adding precious stones
Our dream our palace Yerusholayim our home.

In a crumbling little home lives a fiddler all alone
His inheritance so dear for many ancient years
It’s this instrument he holds his great grandfather he told
Would hurry up each day to the courtyard of Hashem to play.

On a mountain on a stone sits Moshiach all alone
Suffering for years for all our sins he bear
While so painfully he cries prayers piercing through the skies
Pleading to Hashem to take us all back home again.


When The Geulah Will Be Here
(T.T.T.O. Prozos Taishev Yerusholayim)

Chorus:
Prozosos Taishev
Prozos Taishev Yerushataim

When the Geulah
Will be here
The blind will see
The deaf will hear.

All the Jews
From all the world
Will be in Yerusholayim

 

Wonders And The Glory

Wonders and the glory
A prophet and his story
Do they believe that miracles are only in the past.

Mighty nations crumbled
Evil tyrants humbled
Shattering the doubts, the final moment’s here at last.

And as we live
Though it seems the night has overcome
Awaiting the day of peace and harmony
The dawn is aglow with the rising of a brighter sun
Spreading the warmth of the final prophecy.

Look around you see the signs
The Rebbe said is the time
The future, yours and mine
Higiah Zman Geulahschem.

Unified we’ll sing a song
A nation we’ll arise so strong
Wonders to be witnessed
As the prophecy unfolds.


Proud and free. Count On Me

One small voice in the dark
What difference can I make
Which passage do I take
I fear I am alone.

But wait there’s a voice
It says I should not fear
That voice it sounds so near
Oh Rebbe I can hear.

I will learn I will do I will be all I can
I will teach I will reach
Till the whole world understands
In the darkness of night
There your holy words were right
Count on me yes you can count on me.

Though I can’t see your smile
Though I can’t feel your embrace
I will give I will live
To make the world a better place
If it’s all up to me then I won’t let you down
Count on me yes you can count on me.

There’s hope in the air
The logic it defies
The world will soon realize
Just open up your eyes.

Rebbe you have said
The race is almost done
It looks as if we won
Your promises you kept.

I will learn I will do I will be all that I can
I will do I will share I will dare
To make the whole world understand
In the darkness of night
There your holy words were right
Count on me yes you can count on me.

There’s a song in my heart
And I’ll sing it to you now
Take the stand here’s my hand
Don’t be afraid I’ll show you how
There’s no way not a day
That I’m gonna let you down
Count on me yes you can count on me.

Daddy Dear Tell Me Please
Daddy dear tell me please is it true what they say
In the heaven there’s a cup that gets fuller each day.
And I’ve heard that Hashem keeps it close near by
And He fills it with his tears each time that He cries.

Grandpa told me daddy dear did he tell you the same
That when sorrow strikes His people Hashem feels all the pain.
Tell me why does he cry far away in the sky
Tell me why daddy dear are there tears in your eyes.

Little one little one it is true yes it’s true
Grandpa told me years ago and his dad told him too,
Fathers cry for their children and Hashem does the same
When we’re hurt so is He yes he feels all the pain.

Tears of pity from His eyes in the cup sadly flows
Till one day when it’s full all our troubles will go,
We will dance we will cry you and I like the birds
And I cry little one ‘cuz I’m touched by your words.

One more question daddy dear answer please if you will
Just how deep is this cup tell me when will it fill,
Don’t you think it is time that the sun forever shines
Don’t you think it is time dear daddy of mine.

Little one it is time and I’ve questioned that too
Let’s ask Him together together me and you,
Father dear do you hear our worries our fears
Will your eyes ever dry is your cup filled with tears.


Someday

They learned in a dark frigid cellar
Alone just a small group of men
When in rushed a soldier and let them all away
The flame of Torah flickered on that day.

So many tears so much sorrow
The pain has lasted thousands of years
But soon we’ll stop crying the cruelty will end
The melech haMoshiach will descend.

Someday we will all be together
Someday we’ll be sheltered and warmed
Never will we have to express any fear
Our scars and our wounds will disappear.

Avraham and Yitzchok will be there to greet us
Yaakov and his sons will stand by and smile
Moshe Rabeinu will meet us once again
In Yerusholayim b’ezras Hashem.

We learn every day and we daven
We ask Hashem please bring those old times back
I know that he’s listening
He always does what’s true
For I’ve received His promise and so have you.

That Hashem will lead us out of this golus
It won’t be too much longer I know
And then together we will daven
Together we’ll all sing
And praise and thank Hashem for everything.


Wars And Strife And Fears

Wars and strife and fears
Sorry greif and tears
How long Hashem how long
Must we sing our golus song.


Now there is one way
To bring shalom in our day
By making shalom binefesh
Keeping our souls from sin
Making shalom binefesh
Refining our souls within.

But this is not enough
With our selves it’s not so tough
We must shed light on to others
Showing the Torah way
To bring Moshiach tzidkeinu
The ultimate shalom today.

What Can We Do

What can we do, that will help bring Moshiach

If we do our Mitzvos, without delay

And what will happen if we do them quite proper

Then we’ll have the Geulah, today.

 

Chorus:
Oh Moshiach, how we want you now

How long for you must we wait
Oh Moshiach, how we want you now
When you come, it will be great.

Every Jew, child and elders together
Work hard, and keep up the fight
And if we do, then we’ll be able to weather
The darkness of the Golus night.

(Chorus)

Every Jew, child and elders together
Work hard, and keep up the bren
Just like we do, yes, us kids in the army
The Army of Tzivos Hashem.


Two Brothers Together

Two brothers together walking hand in hand
They talk about redemption and of the Promised Land
Their hearts full with happiness their minds carefree and light
They raise their voices in unison and sing into the night.

Oh Moshiach’s coming soon we’ve waited for so long
When our Rebbe will ascend his throne and lead us all in song
When our loved ones who have passed away will be with us once more
And Moshiach our nossi will teach us as before.

They walked passed the city houses and passed the ripened fields
They don’t hear the Arab soldier telling them to yield
Thunder crashes in the mountains and rain begins to pour
The Arab sentry fires now brother is no more.

Oh Moshiach please come soon we’ve waited for so long
Oh when will you ascend your throne and lead us all in song
When our loved ones who have  passed away will be with us once more
And our own eretz Yisroel will be ours as before.

A loud noise in the distance a horn blows loud and clear
He lifts his head in wonder as he wipes away a tear
A majestic man approaches amongst thousands of men
He hears a voice behind him brothers back again.

Oh Moshiach’s finally here we’ve waited for so long
Now our Rebbe will ascend his throne and lead us all in song
Now our loved ones who have passed away are here with us once more
And Moshiach our nossi will teach us as before.


When All The Children

When all the children of the nation
Will join Tzivos Hashem
To Yerusholayim with Moshiach
We will go with them.

The walls of the Bais Hamikdosh
Will be alive once more
Rochel Imenu and the Avos
Will greet us by the door.

Chorus:
Aimosei Kusi Mar
When the wellsprings will reach so far
The Geulah is so near
Moshiach’s almost here.

Moshe Rabbeinu
And the Aravim children of Har Sinai
Will see fulfilled a dream of glory
Of Golus years gone by.


Anu Rotzim Es HaMoshiach
Rotzim Osoh Achshav
Im Hatankim V’hamivtzoim
Nitzacnu Es Hakrav

Chorus:
Aimosei Kusi Mar
When the well springs will reach so far
Yerusholayim will be ours
Forevermore evermore.

 

Am Yisroel, Have No Fear
(T.T.T.O. Nigun Simcha (Nigun #169)

Am Yisroel, have no fear
Moshiach will be here this year
Am Yisroel, have no fear
Moshiach will be here this year.

We want Moshiach now.
We want Moshiach now.
We want Moshiach now.
We don’t want to wait.

We want Moshiach now.
We want Moshiach now.
We want Moshiach now.
We don’t want to wait.


Standing Still At The Edge Of Time

There waits a nation for that final sign
Filled with dreams of the land they know
The home that they were promised long ago.

Listen close and you’ll hear their song
It tells of how they’ve waited for so long
Yet they know that the time is near
There is something in the air that says...

The time is now so keep on trying
Here and now there’s no denying
What we could achieve if we would only believe
One more mitzvah is all that we need.

Can’t you tell it’s almost over
Any day we’ll hear that shofar
And then when we do we’ll know that golus is through
We can do it now is the time.

Time goes by and the days are long
But we the nation keep a faith that’s strong
Deep inside it’s because we know
That very soon it will be time to go.

Time to see why the world began
To the know the end of that eternal plan
All along this was meant to be
This is our destiny.

The time is now so keep on trying
Here and now there’s no denying
What we could achieve if we would only believe
One more mitzvah is all that we need.

Sound a call it’s almost over
One and all we’ll hear that shofar
And then when we do
We’ll know that golus is through
We can do it listen well the time is now.


When I Was Young

When I was young I heard a tale
Of a giant oh so tall
And his son oh, so small
They shared a dream to see the king
They hungered for the day
And hurried on their way.

And we will do it brothers
After us there’ll be no others
You and I will do
What giants wanted to
So stand and take the credit
We will be the ones to end it
Although we’re small
We’re standing tall
Like soldiers, riding high
Because we’re on our fathers shoulder.

As they near, the two despaired
A wall rose to the skies
Above the giants’ eyes.
“Wait my son,” said he
“Climb upon me
And as I rise
You will be my eyes.”

Holy and pure our fathers were
Giant righteous men
We’re small compared to them
But our deeds upon their deeds
Together they will bring
Moshiach our King
It’s up to us
One hammer home that final blow
Our fathers started long ago
Compelling us to follow.


Wake Up, Yidden

Wake up, Yidden

From the dream of Golus

Get ready to meet Moshiach Tzidkeinu

Geulah is coming
Swiftly towards us
Hinei ze omeid achar kosleinu.


There will be no more wars
No more will lions roar

Umalah ha’aretz deo
In a Mikdash built of flame
We’ll give thanks to His Name
And march to Geulah
With the Rebbe Shlita.

The Little Bird Is Calling

The little bird is calling  
It wishes to return  
The little bird is wounded  
It cannot fly, but yearns
It’s captured by the vultures
Crying bitterly
Oh, to see my nest again  
Oh, to be free.

The little bird of silver
So delicate and rare
Still chirps among the vultures
Outshining all that’s there
How long, how long, it suffers
How long will it be
Oh, when will come the eagle
And set the little bird free.

The little bird is Yisroel
The vultures are our foes
The painful wound is Golus
Which we all feel and know
The nest is Yerusholayim
Where we yearn to be, once more
And the eagle is Moshiach
Whom we are waiting for.

On the radio in NYC last Sunday (14 October), I heard and loved the song you have titled "Proud and free. Count On Me" ––– I've been singing it to myself ever since and would like to get the recording. Can you help?
