On the line in the café
He awaits his turn to pay
He glances at his watch
To check the time
When a stranger turns his face
Can I offer you my place
I insist you take my turn
Right here on line
A day that seemed like any other
He thanks the man without a name
But when he leaves he will discover
That the very place he stood is now in flames
Oh Hashem, every step I take you guide
Every day, I know you're standing by my side
Oh, you open up my eyes
When I am lost and cannot see
It's all in your hands
Wherever I am
You're watching me
Ouh-ouh-ouh, ouh-ouh, ouh-ouh-ouh, ouh-ouh
To the hospital he goes
With a jew he barely knows
He's lying in a bed, weak and ill
He holds firmly to his hand
Know your wish is my command
And there's none too great that I will not fulfill
Hashem sent you to be my savior
And now my life to you, I owe
And anytime, you need a favor
I am here for you, be sure to let me know
Oh Hashem, every step I take you guide
Every day, I know you're standing by my side
Oh, you open up my eyes
When I am lost and cannot see
It's all in your hands wherever I am, you're watching me
Oh Hashem, every step I take you guide
Every day, I know you're standing by my side
Oh, you open up my eyes
When I am lost and cannot see
It's all in your hands wherever I am, you're watching me
To America, he leaves
One day a phone call, he receives
From the son of the man who saved his life
We're in town for better care
And we were hoping you'd be there
With my father when he goes under the knife
A day that seemed like any other
But one small fate had crossed the way
For as he stood beside his brother
Oh, the towers where he worked came down in flames
Oh Hashem, every step I take you guide
Every day, I know you're standing by my side
Yes, you open up my eyes
When I am lost and cannot see
It's all in your hands wherever I am
Oh Hashem, every step we take you guide
Night and day, we know you're standing by our side
(Oh, you open up our eyes)
(When we are lost and cannot see)
You're never too far
Wherever we are
There you will be
(Oh Hashem) Every step we take you guide
(Night and day) We know you're standing at our side
Yes, you open up my eyes
When we are lost and cannot see
You're never too far
Wherever we are
There you will be
Yes, it's all in your hands
Wherever I am
