Rick Recht Shabbat is Not lyrics

Shabbat is not a lot like any other day of week
when boys and girls and parents run and work hard on their feet
Shabbat is not a lot like all those crazy busy days
with traffic horns honking, yelling and beeping, buzzing ringing phones ding ding dinging
computer games banging popping screeching and ... well... you get the idea
Shabbat IS G-d's way
of saying ‘hey!
why don't you take a break!'
spend time with your family,
take a bath!
and eat for goodness sake!
Shabbat is a time
to realize time's passing
a gift of time together
sundown to sundown
giving thanks for blessings

we often find hard to remember
No
Shabbat is not a lot like any other day of week
it's extraordinary, exemplary, and notably - pleasant
it's really awfully unique
so that is why I smile a lot
when I talk about Shabbat
on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday to friends
cause in two or three days
I know it will be Friday
my day to get ready again
for Shabbat
