Feet on the ground, trying to stand tall
But the wind, it blows me away
Time ticking by, and i feel so small
When i hear an inner voice say
The waves push you back, you've got no strength at all
Let it go, let it fall down
Legacy, i don't see, anything in front of me
When darkness begins to surround
I know what you need me to be
But it's hard to see
Darkness, in bitter, in black now
Carry the lantern I try, with all of my might
The Torah, it gives me the strength now
I know what you need me to be
But it's hard to see
Darkness, in bitter, in black now
Carry the lantern I try, with all of my might
Hashem send me strength from on high
Step by step, I rise up once more
The Torah, it so sets me free
Mitzvah by Mitzvah, the golus is dark
But the darkness will never stop me!
But why do we fall, if we're meant to soar high
A diamond that falls in the mud
Shema Yisroel Hashem Elokeinu
Shema Yisroel Hashem Echad
I know what you need me to be
But it's hard to see
Darkness, in bitter, in black now
Carry the lantern i try, with all of my might
The Torah, it gives me the strength now
I know what you need me to be
But it's hard to see
Darkness, in bitter, in black now
Carry the lantern I try, with all of my might
Hashem send me strength from on high
I know what you need me to be
But it's hard to see
In darkness, in bitter, in black now
Carry the lantern i try, with all of my might
The Torah it gives me the strength now
I know what you need me to be
And now I can see
The light that a mitzvah can bring
In the darkness, the bitter, the black
There's no turning back
Hashem send me strength from on High
