Born in Nikolaev in 1902
Raised by his parents who already knew
Heaven sent was this son
Special his role
And all of man would rejoice
With his precious soul
A heart so young and tender
Extraordinary mind
Although still a child he envisioned a time
When his people are no longer oppressed
When we would all thank G-d
For every hardship and test The sun has not set
See it's light and don't forget
His vision and his dream
So much closer than it seems
Open your eyes, see beyond the disguise One single deed is all we need
A daughter of royalty his partner his queen
Modestly, graciously devoted to him
For everything he stood for
For his every cause
A woman of valor, of virtue she was
From the fires of Europe
To freedom they sailed
Where nothing is sacred, and all is for sale
Timeless traditions, the Jewish way
Have no place in America
Is what they tried to say
The it sun has not set
See it's light and don't forget
His vision and his dream
So much closer than it seems
Open your eyes, see beyond the disguise
One single deed is all we need
The media declared
Judaism's end
But on the gold paved streets
He could see a new trend
He slowly built an army
Of soldiers who would fight
To find that spirit
And help it to ignite
No time to rest so many to bless
His voice just didn't cease
To look for a way, to bring on the day
When the whole world's at peace
Then suddenly still was
His voice as he prayed
And though we miss it until this day
It will never fade
The it sun has not set
See it's light and don't forget
His vision and his dream
So much closer than it seems
Open your eyes, see beyond the disguise
One single deed is all we need
