Hebrew Lyrics from Liturgy
Inspiration Text:
Out of the depths I call to You Hashem, My G-d, listen to my voice, hear my pleas
–T'hillim (Psalms) 130
Lyrics:
Sometimes you need a friend to share the sadness
Sometimes it seems that no one understands
All the lies cannot disguise the rage and anger building up
So tired you feel like giving up
From out of the depths you reach for a helping hand
When there's pain we all cry
When there's death we all die inside
With one hand and one heart we reach for You
Sometimes a light can only shine in darkness
Sometimes the darkness never seems to end
How many lifetimes snatched away
Before we see the break of day
With all our hearts we try to understand
When there's pain we all cry
When there's death we all die inside
With one hand and one heart we reach for You
One is the heart that beats within my people
One is the reason why
Ten thousand miles between me and my brothers
Reading yesterday's news
And another voice inside me dies
Mi ma'amakim keratecha Ka
Eli shema koli, shema techanu nai
Eli shema koli, shema techanu nai
Eli, eli
When there's pain we all cry
When there's death we all die inside
With one hand and one heart we reach for You
Give us peace in our time
With your light we all shine inside
With one hand and one heart we reach for You
