He raised his hand to wave goodbye |
Am |
Saw the pain in mother's eyes |
F Am |
Who left her little precious boy of four |
Am |
In a citadel of ashen stone |
Am |
That preached a faith unlike his own |
F C |
Perhaps he just may yet survive this war |
G Am |
In the shadows stood a man in black |
G Am |
My child he said, you must not look back |
G Dm |
Yet one image lingered, the tears on her face |
Am E |
And mother's words from their last embrace |
Am F |
"Shema, Shema Israel" |
C G |
Know that there is but one God above |
Dm |
When you feel pain, when you rejoice |
Am F |
Know how he longs to hear your voice |
G Em Am |
"Hashem Helokenu Hashem Ehad" |
