The Curtains Won't Close

Description

Hushed is the air, the silence is soft Last words of Kaddish borne aloft Our eyes raised to face the Melech’s balcony place The curtains still closed, my mind starts to race The thought is resounding again and again How can I take a moment of your pain To see my Rebbe I wait and I thirst The pain and the love, my heart wants to burst The curtains they swing, the Rebbe, our Melech, I see “Oy Rebbe,” my heart shouts, “I’ll be all you want me to be” And for a short moment, my heart skips a beat As my eyes, the Rebbe’s do meet A moment that tells me to keep on, be strong “Mein kind, it won’t be for long” For soon is the day when the curtains no longer will close The singing is thunder, Yechi HaMelech, it grows Our Melech will rise up, a swing of the hand United the whole world will stand We rise up triumphant, with one voice it’s said Yechi HaMelech Le’Olam Vo’ed
