גוף ונשמה

Body and Soul

There's always a small moment at the end of the day
My heart sinks as the light fades
It's hard for me to see the way to You 1
I wanted to talk to You about what's in my heart
About happy moments, not just about what's painful
Do me a favor, don't hide Your face
 
You always know when
If I went too far
Like a lost child
I cry out to You
 
Hear O Israel, the L-rd is our G-d, the L-rd is One 2
Hear O Israel, the L-rd is our G-d, the L-rd is One
What's this body and soul, what for?
I want to be close to You
Year after year, what for?
And who am I here without You?
 
It also happens sometimes that the sadness sticks
Hand over my eyes 3, and I'm not alone
I wrote songs about me and You
I want to tell You about the past day
You're always with me, both in the sweet and bitter times
I want to be the best in Your eyes
