A tear rolls down my cheek,
softly climbing down my face,
the pain’s built up inside of me,
over Leiby Kletzky’s case.
The horror of this murder,
the atrocious, nasty crime,
has brought all jews together,
in such a terrible time.
We cannot be consoled,
the loss is just too great,
the merciless, awful man,
to reality can’t relate.
We stand by wordlessly,
not knowing what to say,
how can we comfort the family
of the pain we can’t repay.
The sobs are heard around us,
the tears are shed so real,
the agony of our community,
the anguish of this ordeal.
Please Kletzkys know we’re with you,
though words we cannot find,
to ease the hurting in your hearts,
with our pain it does bind.
