Sitting by the lake
Gazing at the setting sun
The last night of camp approaches, the banquet has begun
Mendel is there alone
Watching the waters flow
With thoughts of camp he gives a sigh, it's time to go
Next year is so near, what will I do
With no success with my friends nor in school
What will give me the courage that I need
To break through all my misery
(Oy) Rebbe, your Chayolei Hamelech will give me the strength
To pull through all the hardships that I have to face
The friendship, the warmth, the chayus it has given me
Showing me how to live with Moshiach, the Rebbe our king
I'm now so sure my problems are no more
The next day has arrived, Mendel is on his way
He turns to the Rebbe's picture and he does say
"Next year, I'll be with you together again
This time in Yerushalayim, Amen!"
