One by One (שיר)

Still, we shudder and lament
Our enemies’ intent
To fight ‘till there remained no trace
Yet, the danger’s still today
With those who’ve lost their way
This state of war we still now face
Steps must be taken
They must not be forsaken
Let their spirits awaken
For we hold the key
To their eternity

See, the void that’s in their heart
When lives have come apart
Can we just ignore their cry?
There, an emptiness prevails
A lifestyle doomed to fail
Can we just stand idly by?
Let’s make this our quest
May our efforts be blessed?
In this trial – this test
Will we let them fall?
Do we hear their call?

Chorus:
Reach out now to your brother
Show him how to discover
The road he’ll take in coming home
It won’t be easy trying
There’s surely no denying
A Yid must always stand alone.
Let’s try for each Neshamah
Strengthening ourselves with Torah
To fight this battle ‘til it’s done
Help stop assimilation
We must preserve our Nation
We can make a difference one by one

Now, we’ve spent so many years
Building from the tears
How our strength has been restored
But now, our ever-present goal
To help each precious soul
For even one- there’s great reward
With deep introspection
They can change their direction
If we make the connection and regain our loss
If we stay the course!

Chorus
