"I search" Composed by Chanie Obermeister. Lyrics by Esther Cagen & Seymour Rockoff A"H. This song of many wonderful songs From the second album or the Jewish Education Program "JEP 2" . Played and sung by Yaakov Kranz "The Kumzitzer Rebbe" on the Guitar . This song tell about a dark and cold world that we live in, and how the Torah gives light and warmth and beauty to the world. The Lyrics; I search and I wander, lost and alone, My friend’s 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 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 meet me, extending its heart, A voice pleading 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 Torah was drawing me near, A light in the darkness, so pure and so clear. A voice came to greet me, extending its heart, A voice pleading 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 no different than me The study of Torah, I hope and I pray, will shatter the darkness, turn night into day.
