8th Day The Rabbi's Son lyrics

I know you think I don't belong here
With my blue jeans and my long hair
But when I was just a little boy
I would play here with my trains

When I was just a little boy
This whole synagogue knew my name

When the soldiers they took me away they said
We need the young and strong
When the soldiers took me away
My father was singing this song, he sang:

(Chorus:)
“V'af Al Pi She'choto Yisroel Hu”

So sing me the song just one more time
Maybe I'll understand
Sing me the song just one more time
I want to know who I am


How can I know where I'm going
If I don't know where I'm coming from
How can I know why I'm living
If I don't know what he was dying for.

I know you think my life was not fair
As you wipe away another tear
But since I was just a little boy
I searched this whole world for this place

Since I was just a little boy
I never forgot his holy face
When the soldiers took me away they said
Everything was wrong
When the soldiers took me away
I never stopped singing this song, I sang:

(Chorus:)
