The Rabbi’s Son Songtext
von 8th Day

I know you think I don′t belong here
With my blue jeans and my long hair
But when I was just a little boy
I would play here with my trains
When I was just a little boy
This whole synagogue knew my name
When the soldiers they took me away they said
We need the young and strong
When the soldiers took me away
My father was singing the song
He said
ואף אל פי
שחטא ישראל הוא
So sing me the song just one more time


Maybe I'll understand
Sing me the song just one more time
I want to know who I am
How can I know where I′m going
If I don't know where I'm coming from
How can I know why I′m living
If I don′t know what he was dying for
I know you think my life was not fair
As you wipe away another tear
Since I was just a little boy
I searched this whole world for this place
Since I was just a little boy
I never forgot his holy face
When the soldiers took me away...
