A lot going on in the world
And it all happened so fast
It's hard to come up with a question that somebody else didn't already ask
Why is all of this happening
Wonder what could be the message
And with all the darkness that has come upon us, how do we stay focused on the blessings
I'm not one to give the answers
But maybe I can give some food for thought
Cause I been thinking to myself a lot
About all these battles that our people fought
The difference is now it's in front of our eyes
As we push our differences aside
Used to be off key but now it seems as though our nation has harmonized
And we remind ourselves who we're serving
Realizing we're deserving
All the times that we think we got our hands on the wheel and G-d sends us swerving
It's a tragedy that tragedies are what brings us together
But now that we have the opportunity in front of us, let's use it to better
Ourselves, and work as one
Everybody in sync
Remember that Hashem has the ability to make it all stop in the blink
Of an eye, but obviously there's a mission that we must accomplish
And we can only do it as one people
As we look up to the sky and scream
I been standing so tall for You
I been breaking down walls for You
Flying through my ceiling for You
I been reaching new heights for You
Making sacrifices for You
Giving all my everything for You
I just wanna rise above for You
Above for You
So now that we've all come together
A lot of new questions arise
The biggest one being, what can we do while our brothers are fighting on the front lines
And the answer you probably already know, but I wanna get into the why
Whether it's learning, davening, or helping send over supplies
I learned from my rebbe that Klal Yisrael is one unit, one body
And when one fights he gives a hundred percent
With his whole body, entirely
We are trying to be the heart and the lips while they serve as our hands
That means Torah and Tefillah are crucial, you have to understand
And don't forget about Chesed
In whatever way speaks to you
You have the chance to give of yourself, and that's what we all need to do
Cause if we're there for each other
Then I don't think we can lose
Am Yisrael Am Echad, something you won't hear on the news, nah
And that brings us full circle
Cause it all comes down to Achdus
Whether we on the army base or in the beis medrash
Everybody can't play the same position but we all on the same team
Every person, every being
As we look up to the sky and scream
I been standing so tall for You
I been breaking down walls for You
Flying through my ceiling for You
I been reaching new heights for You
Making sacrifices for You
Giving all my everything for You
I just wanna rise above for You
Above for You
