If only it were easy to be a mentch
Then my yetzer hara wouldn’t weigh me down just like cement
The Tanya teaches that we shouldn’t ever be content
It seems there’s always higher levels for us to ascend.
I recommend that you remember who you represent
The title chosen among the nations won’t lose relevance
Some of us love ourselves so much we try to disconnect
Thank goodness g-d forgives us any time we’re incorrect
They say repent I say take it to the next step
This negativity has the ability to reinvent
It’s only when, we’re consumed by total darkness do we appreciate the light ahead
Why distress when nothing is permanent in this environment
Guided by six hundred thirteen mitzvot requirements
Good for your soul like flintstone vitamins
Cleave to G-d above no reason why to hide from him
No confinement, though we won’t stay pacified or silent
Mumbai violence, terrorists might swipe life, thinkin’ we’re spineless
However we’re never compliant
Forever defiant, together united, Gavi and Rivkie still survive… l’chaim

If only it were easy to do the right thing
But this yetzer hara of mine always seems to need refining
Crush the klipah that tries to disguise the G-dliness inside crying
Beggin’ to brighten the world like a pack of matches igniting
There are struggles that I hide deep, underneath my tzit-tzit
That I release in writing, For those prone to inspiring
A Jewish life is tiring, there ain’t no denying,
Humanity demands some better defining
Every soul in shamayim given a mission to fix society
And because of this assignment, often it’s difficult to find peace
I wonder why me? I don’t understand what G-d’s requiring
How do any of these laws apply to me
Question my rabbi and he replied smiling
The secret to the Jews surviving, is during the times we, were persecuted and dying, We didn’t lose faith in G-d providing, we continued fighting,
Even when surrender was appetizing
From the challenges we’re sent, our inner essence begins shining
This advice I deem worthy of internalizing
And gives me reason each morning to open up my eyelids
Now finally, I can see the morning light, rising
