MOSHIACH’S ON THE WAY

The road is long and winding
It narrows down ‘round the bend
One more step – how far we’ve come
He peeks through the cracks at the end

The journey seems forever
But no, it is long only from behind
One more step, just one more step
It is true – yes, he will come this time

We’ve waited and waited – we’ve poured out our hearts
The world all around us is crumbling apart
The arrows and sundials point all in one direction
It is time that you and I make that connection

We’ve waited and waited – we’ve come very close
And he, too, is waiting for one more sign – an ‘os’
The gaps and the bridges are bringing us together
It is time that you I seal them forever

Moshiach’s on the way, on the way
We wait for him today, oh, today
See the signs around, beckoning his call
Gather all your deeds and rise up one and all
Let us learn…. Let’s prepare…. Let’s be ready to say ‘he’s here!’

Moshiach’s on the way, on the way
We wait for him today, oh today
The hopes of every jew finally come true
Now’s the time for me and now’s the time for you
Now’s the time, if ever, that we greet him altogether

Oy Achakeh lo…. Bechol yom sheyavo
The road is leading onwards
And soon we will all be heading home
Every mother rocks her child
And sings of one day soon, that will come

There’s so much good before us
No need to think of all we’ve left behind
Our nation’s yearned for centuries
We stand at the threshold this time
We’ve waited and waited….
Moshiach’s on the way….
