Up upon the mountain
With holiness around him
Moshe Rabbeinu learned- of his nation’s fall,
And then upon returning
A fire within him burning,
His words resounding- who would come
to answer his call.
CHORUS:
מִי לַהַ’ אֵלָי
Who will be on His side,
Turn to the One Above
Serve Him with trust and love,
Live by His law with awe and pride.
לַהַ’ אֶשָׂא עֵינַי
How can our souls deny,
The road to a life complete
Just step to your inner heartbeat,
Its calling- מִי לַהַ’ אֵלָי.
The Greek rule was so daunting
The sacrifice- so haunting,
But the courage of one leader
Who would dare to take a stand,
And in that golden moment
Matisyahu brought atonement,
He chose those solemn words again
That rang throughout the land.
CHORUS:
מִי לַהַ’ אֵלָי
Who will be on His side,
Turn to the One Above
Serve Him with trust and love,
Live by His law with awe and pride.
לַהַ’ אֶשָׂא עֵינַי
How can our souls deny,
The road to a life complete
Just step to your inner heartbeat,
Its calling- מִי לַהַ’ אֵלָי.
BRIDGE:
So the money and the music and the culture are
What we thought we couldn’t live without,
But just maybe we’re forgetting
What it’s really all about.
Oh, the sickness and the struggles of economy
Many children have been pulled away,
But the answer is the question
That can truly save the day.
CHORUS:
מִי לַהַ’ אֵלָי
Who will be on His side,
Turn to the One Above
Serve Him with trust and love,
Live by His law with awe and pride.
לַהַ’ אֶשָׂא עֵינַי
How can our souls deny,
The road to a life complete
Just step to your inner heartbeat,
Its calling- מִי לַהַ’ אֵלָי.
Shout out- so our faith will show
We can shine in the Torah’s glow,
Never- can it lead us wrong
Forever- will it make us strong,
Sing– so all the world will know.
Lai, lailailai…
lailailai…
.מִי לַהַ’ אֵלָי
