Lyrics: There are times when I stand by a mirror To take a close look at myself And the face that I see – Looking right back at me Wishes it was someone else But there is – only one you A fragment of light from above That would joyfully serve and cling to Hashem If only it knew – the depth of His love Time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly Show yourself and the world just how very high You can fly, you can soar – once you unlock the door And Hashem will be there at your side – And Hashem will be there at your side There are times when I hear music playing But it’s more a lament than a song I’m so used to the pain – of its tragic refrain That whispers you don’t belong But there is – only one you A Neshama most precious and sweet Our lives are a chorus – In praise of Hashem And when your voice is missing – The song’s incomplete Chorus I’ve been told every soul sent from heaven Has its very own mountain to climb Though some do prevail – Many stumble and fail And I know not which fate will be mine But there is – only one you With a calling of your very own The road may be long – a test of the heart But you’ll never, no never - have to walk it alone Time to leave your cocoon, my dear butterfly Show yourself and the world just how very high You can fly, you can soar – once you unlock the door And Hashem will be there at your side – Yes – He’ll always be there at our side © Shulem Lemmer 2023.
