LYRICS:

כְּאַיָּל תַּעֲרֹג עַל־אֲפִיקֵי־מָיִם
כֵּ֤ן נַפְשִׁי תַעֲרֹג אֵלֶיךָ אֱלֹקים
כְּאַיָּל תַּעֲרֹג עַל־אֲפִֽיקֵי־מָיִם
כֵּן נַפְשִׁי תַעֲרֹג אֵלֶיךָ אֱלֹקים

צָמְאָה צָמְאָה צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי
לֵאלֹקים לְאֵל חָי
מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹקים
צָמְאָה צָמְאָה צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי 
לֵאלֹקים לְאֵל חָי
מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹקים

Oy yoy yoy oh
Yeah
I'm trying to run to Your Torah like a deer that's running to water
Like a lion I've been fighting every day I'm going harder
While the wind blows my roots below are getting stronger
Keeping me grounded I’m right on Your path it's the way that I wanna be part
of
I've been taking baby steps but I've been trying to take em to You
Looking back at the past yeah I have my regrets but I'm looking forward to improve
I wanna be Koneh Your Torah and more
Need a connection that's holy and pure
I wanna bring Your Light into the world
And be a light in Your world

צָמְאָה צָמְאָה צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי 
לֵאלֹקים לְאֵל חָי
מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹקים
צָמְאָה צָמְאָה צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי 
לֵאלֹקים לְאֵל חָי
מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹקים

I was dying of thirst
Until I found You
What's the point of this world You created
As all this time passes by unabated
Until I realized that the purpose of life is to draw down Your Light that has faded
I'm on a 
Comeback on the fast track
Tryna put up a fight every single day
But there's
Setbacks on the war path
But I rise back up with my soul blaze
I try to refine all my character traits
Bring out the Divine in the things that I make
Your ladder I climb
One step at a time
I know deep inside I'll be one of Your greats
I believe all the struggle and pain I've been through
It's all for the best I know that it's true
Now that I found meaning in all that I do
Turns out all this time all I wanted was You

כְּאַיָּל תַּעֲרֹג עַל־אֲפִיקֵי־מָיִם
כֵּ֤ן נַפְשִׁי תַעֲרֹג אֵלֶיךָ אֱלֹקים

כְּאַיָּל תַּעֲרֹג עַל־אֲפִֽיקֵי־מָיִם
כֵּן נַפְשִׁי תַעֲרֹג אֵלֶיךָ אֱלֹקים

צָמְאָה צָמְאָה צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי 
לֵאלֹקים לְאֵל חָי
מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹקים

צָמְאָה צָמְאָה צָמְאָה נַפְשִׁי 
לֵאלֹקים לְאֵל חָי
מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹקים
צָמְאָה צָמְאָה צָמְאָה
נַפְשִׁי  לֵאלֹקים לְאֵל חָי
מָתַי אָבוֹא וְאֵרָאֶה פְּנֵי אֱלֹקים

PSALMS 42:

Like a hind crying for water,
My soul cries for You, O G-d;
My soul thirsts for G-d, the living G-d;
O when will I come to appear before G-d
