lyrics
כי אנו עמך ואתה אלקינו,
אנו בניך ואתה אבינו,
אנו עבדיך ואתה אדוננו,
אנו קהליך ואתה חלקנו
Our Father, Our King,
I’ve done so many improper things and my sins are weighing me down,
It seems like I’m beginning to sink, into the ground,
Burdened by an ego so overly inflated that now it’s sprung a leak from being too proud,
Punctured and learning to shrink, learning to think before I act like a clown,
I lower my eyes and bow before you,
Pleading for forgiveness knees on the ground,
For breaching my vows, and speaking deceitfully
I never should have let a negative word leave my mouth,
So many injustices I witnessed and did nothing about,
I didn’t reach out, my cold heart wasn’t aroused,
But next time I promise I’ll turn around,
Use the gifts with which I’ve been endowed,
To inspire crowds, to smile past their frowns,
Clear away the clouds that shroud how to recognize the divine when shadows surround,
Though you’ve blessed me with many obstacles to surmount,
I never lose faith, not even one ounce
I’m a man with a yetzer hara ready to pounce,
And I fight with all my might to rid myself of doubt,
Seal me in the book of life please don't let me drown
I'll try harder to stay away from things that aren't allowed,
Anah Hashem I shout, beggin G-d to end this drought,
Let praises of his name abound through every city and town,
Blow the shofar loud to exalt the crown,
This year please let my ears hear the sound
Of Mashiach’s arrival being announced
