Inspiration Text: Pirke Avot 2:8
Lyrics:
Does it really matter - why bother to care,
I've heard all the reasons - and maybe life isn't fair.
The righteous will suffer - the wicked take reward,
Tell me... Is there some secret –
what is goodness for?
CHORUS:
Yes we can stand above the crowd,
Raise our voices loud,
from our actions be proud.
Yes we must rise above our fears,
Draw the enemy near,
Not by might, but by spirit, we are here.
Strive to be human - dare to make a difference,
Dare to be different - in the face of indifference.
To be the eyes of the vision –
the voice of those who cannot speak,
To stand by the lonely - and to carry the weak.
CHORUS:
Marbeh Torah – Marbeh Chaim,
Marbeh Y'shivah – Marbeh Chochma.
Marbeh Etza – Marbeh Tvunah,
Marbeh Tzdakah – Marbeh Shalom.
CHORUS:
