Positive vibe

Three years ago I quit song writing, simply, because I didn't like what was coming out. This is my first uplifting song since.
Written in the hills of Safed.
The song is titled Transformation.

I wake up in the morning
sometimes afternoon.
Can this day be redemption
will I pass it through.
Will I be up for fighting
the struggle is my goal.
My eyes they won't stay open
afraid to fall below.

Then I hear...

But you got to
pray to Hashem.
Ask him to help you
take you by the hand.
This life is just to dangerous
to go it alone.
Ask him to help you
keep coming home.


Day after day
night after night.
My heart is filled with emotions
I try to hide.
Dipped into the pit of pleasure
hope I won't go blind.
I can't seem to find my other half
to help me with my fight.

I know...

I've got to
pray to Hashem.
Ask him to help me
take me by the hand.
This life is just to dangerous
to go it alone.
Ask him to help me
keep coming home.

I may not be an ascetic
but don't pander to my needs.
It's not that I'm so vitouis
a good Jew I want to be.
People keep on telling me
it's not in your stars
give up you dreams
it's not who you are.

But I say no...

Beacause I'm praying
praying to Hashem.
Asking him to help me
take me by the hand.
This life is just to dangerous
to go it alone.
I'm asking him to help me
keep coming homeeeee.

Definitely written on the hills in Tzfas...

How was the end of your trip? My friend left, but we later heard that a missile hit the building, or her side of it.

Hope all is well. Good Shabbos!

Hey Mimi,
