Sadah- This song we sang in camp and I rlly need info. on it…this was also mentioned a few times on page 26 of this thread….someone said they thought the prospect park sing this
HEY what’s the name of this song and whoose it by:
High up on a mountain, far across the sea,
all the busy creatures scurry frantically.
Above them soars the eagle, flying towards the distant light,
not a glance back at the shadows as he spreads his wings in flight.
The world thats all around me calls me to join in.
Its glamour seems to beckon but my beauty lies within.
I want to soar like the eagleand live a better life.
I want to be a bas yisroel, a mother, and a wife.
Can I rise above the glitter, continuing the chain?
a thousand grandmothers before me, their mission not in vain.
Will my children ever look at me and try to emulate?
Will they take pride in their tradition, an inheritance so great?
Will the shechina have a place inside the person I become?
“v’asu li mikdash v’shachanti b’socham”
Can I follow Das Yehudis as I was meant to be?
Am i the link to the future; the answer lies in me.
In my mind, I see a woman, a treasure in her heart.
There’s a special air about her in the way she stands apart.
Her fortress, bayis neeman, protects her family,
and I know this is my future. This vision, yes, it’s me.
I can rise above the glitter, continuing the chain,
a thousand grandmothers before me, their mission not in vain.
Yes, my children will look at me and try to emulate.
They will take pride in their tradition, an inheritance so great.
Yes, the shechina has a place inside the person I’ve become.
“v’asu li mikdash v’shachanti b’socham”
I can follow Das Yehudis as I was meant to be.
I am the link to the future; the answer lies in me.
I am the link to the future; the answer lies in me
Bygirl- Guess were not the only ones who remember it……..does this song ring a bell? I REALLY want the tape if its on one…..if anyone has it PLEASE tell me the name of it!
(Because this website does not have a recorder I cannot write a tune, but it is VERY beautiful)
