    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

    When I see troubled souls, I think of them as being in a cocoon. I have seen many come out as butterflies. Different from how they were expected to be - but more beautiful and creative than what others had expected them to be.
    Thank you Abie for this song. It reminds me of the days you sang along with Moshe Yess on the Journey's tapes.
    Thank you Abie for bringing in Shulem's voice and soul.
    Hashem is there for us... especially if we have been blessed with SIBLINGS. So often I have seen younger siblings bring joy to the older siblings who helped care for the little one years before.

How I miss our Rabbi Wallerstein - This is such a beautiful & poignant tribute to the work that he did. I feel Rabbi Wallerstein is still continuing his work from on High. As someone who was helped by Rabbi Wallerstein, I am humbled & grateful to Ohr Naava, Abie Rotenberg & Shulem Lemmer for putting this song out. Thank you so much! 🦋 Debbie Weiner

    It was 2006 when I held the first meeting for the "Esthers". I told the story about the caterpillar that becomes a butterfly.
    But it requires daring to lean on HaShem alone! Not on others and not on yourself. It requires complete surrender.
    Not my will but Yours! This song is beautiful! Would love to use it when I make a podcast. Reading from the Torah, encouraging and praying, etc.

    VERSE 1:
    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.
    CHORUS 1:
    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.
    VERSE 2:
    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 Neshoma most precious and sweet.
    Our lives are a chorus in praise of Hashem
    and when your voice is missing, the song’s incomplete.
    CHORUS 2:
    It’s 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.
    VERSE 3:
    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.
    CHORUS 3:
    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.

    I dont know this rabbi, but i do know that Lemmers voice is magnificent beyond compare. I could listen to him sing all the time. Please let me know if he has made a collection of hebrew and yiddish songs that i can hear. His range is so amazing. And his voice never seems to be strained. Never! No matter how high or low the note is he hits it with precision and beauty.
