I search and I wander, lost and alone
My friends but a shadow, and no place my home
The sun shines so strongly, but I cannot see
The road is too steep, with no passage for me
I'm m merely a child, but inside I've grown old
The world cannot touch me, for each touch is cold
The warmth that I search for is nowhere in sight
I see only sorrow, I see only night
A voice came to greet me, extending its arm
A voice pleadings softly, "do not stand apart"
A voice giving warmth I'd not known before
A voice casting light, as it opened the door
I followed that voice, and soon I could see
A room filled with children, all welcoming me
The beauty of Tova was drawing me near
A light in the darkness, so pure and so clear
The voice is still with me, it hovers above
It echoes my feelings, it fills me with love
The sound all around me awakened my soul
My heart is so youthful, though I have grown old
I still cannot rest, my work is not done
I dream of young voices resounding as one
So much yet to ponder, so much I must do
The voice I have followed must reach every Jew
I'll follow that voice, and soon I will see
A room full of children all listening to me
I'll speak of the Torah, drawing them near
A light in the darkness, so pure and so clear
The voice that I heard from, so long long ago
Is my inspiration to learn and to grow
I'll whisper it's message, so simple and true
And if you just listen, it will speak to you
I'll follow that voice, and soon there will be
A world where our children can live peacefully
The study of Torah, we hope and we pray
Will shatter the darkness, turn night into day
Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh
Ooooooooh
I'll whisper it's message, so simple and true
And if you just listen, that voice speaks to you
