Together We Can

10/6/2020

0 Comments

 
You and I we stand alone on separate sides
Like a fragile string I'm with desperate eyes
I'm crying for mine but not for yours
We're fighting for peace on different shores

And when we tie the strings together
We become a mighty rope

Together we can, change what will be
Together we can, create a new reality
Together we can, pull out of the dark
Together we can, leave our mark

Nothing will change if we stay the same
Enough with the hatred spilling in 'His name'
What side do you choose when you play this game
Holding on to pride or take my pain

Together we can, change what will be
Together we can, create a new reality
Together we can, pull out of the dark
Together we can, leave our mark

Let's Go

10/6/2020

​I feel I’m being used, is this life real or just a show,
Am I lost or confused, all I want is to go,
Go where, I don't care, just as long, you are there, I swear,

Let's go, run away, come along, there's no need to stay,
Let's go, run away, pack your bag, we're leaving today,

Let me break you the news, we’ve been making the same wrong bet,
Use your freedom to choose, grab your stuff and

Let's go, run away, come along, there's no need to stay,
Let's go, run away, pack your bag, we're leaving today,

It’s O.K. if you don’t wanna go,
But hey I got a plan for us, you know,
Let’s be more than extras in this show,

Let's go, run away, come along, there's no need to stay,
Let's go, run away, pack your bag, we're leaving today.

In Love

10/6/2020

It’s 5am and she’s still working,
Again for faces she don’t know,
Her skirt is tiny as her pay-check,
She must obey she can’t say no,

He’s walking slowly to the station,
Again he’s looking for a wife,
The city stops – but he’s still going,
Giving a bad name to life,

But when they met they found desire,
And where they meet there’s a blue sky above,
At night they set the bed on fire,
You might say these two are in love, in love.

​They take a break to miss their parents,
The children always live to tell,
Another day, a year, but who’s counting anyway,
‘cause living here is hard as hell,

But when they met they found desire,
And where they meet there’s a blue sky above,
At night they set the bed on fire,
You might say these two are in love, in love.

The Boy with the Whistle

9/29/2020

*Dedicated to Karen Berg*
***
​
In a village far away, the people gathered, it’s time to pray,
The world’s in pain, we need a cure,
well can they find it? No one’s sure,

And then a shepherd boy arrived, with a whistle in his hand,
He wasn’t really prayer-smart, but this boy could understand,
All the matters of the heart,

Inside the temple, the tension rose, the Gates of Heaven – are still closed,
So many prayers, with so much glee, yet no one seems, to have the key,
Our little boy decides to act, he blows his whistle, with all his heart,
And with the love that it provides, the Gates of Heaven – have opened wide…

And then a shepherd boy arrived, with a whistle in his hand,
He wasn’t really prayer-smart, but this boy could understand,
All the matters of the heart,

When we are pure, simple and kind, then we are free,
It doesn’t matter, where you are, just know one thing:
That whistle boy – is you and me…

Circus 2020

6/20/2020

Saw the ad in the paper: “Join the circus!”,
So that’s what I did,
Got a suit and a red nose,
I’ve had this kind of dream since I was a kid,
 
In the tent, the orders kept coming,
“Fight the lions!” and then “Ride a horse!”,
At the start, I felt kind of dizzy,
By the end of the week, I felt even worse,
 
“Don't you dare to cry!”, they told me,
”Never show your fear!”, they said,
“You are here for entertainment only,
If the people won't laugh - you are dead!”,
 
All my life, I knew I would come here,
Every party, guess who was the clown,
On TV it looks very funny,
So can someone explain please, why I feel down,

“Don't you dare to cry!”, they told me,
”Never show your fear!”, they said,
“You are here for entertainment only,
If the people won't laugh - you are dead!”,

One night, a bit after 03:00, I ran away, finally free,
All that time, I was too blind to see, I’ve made people happy, except me…

And You Shall Choose Life ♥ ארי פוליטי - ובחרת בחיים

5/12/2020

לטוביה for Trevor 


בן אדם לא מושלם, בן אדם קטן
מנופח מתוסבך, אנושי כל כך
מתכופף כשבאה רוח, מזדקף אל האור
כמו עץ בודד ביער, מחכה לציפור
ובלב יש געגוע, לאתמול שיחזור

זה הכל נתון בידיך, אתה כאן ליצור ניסים
החיים והמוות עכשיו לפניך, ובחרת בחיים

בן אדם משתנה, את עצמו בונה
מסתכל וגדל, כל הזמן שואל
הוא מתכופף כשבאה רוח, מזדקף אל האור
כמו עץ בודד ביער, מחכה לציפור
ובטוח שיצליח, את הזמן לעצור

זה הכל נתון בידיך, אתה כאן ליצור ניסים
החיים והמוות עכשיו לפניך, ובחרת בחיים

When Raindrops Fall

9/6/2019

0 Comments

 

​Looking around, empty spaces
The word you left behind echoes wild
Every dream lays, flat on the bed
No one there to catch the sound of the voices in my head.

How does it feel when it is over
just like when raindrops fall
How will I face another moment
feels like when raindrops fall.

Hours have passed, days will follow
The future's knocking on my door with a smile
Starting to live life, free like the rain
Tell my doubts “you're sweet but you're not welcome here again”.

What will you do when it is over
just like when raindrops fall
Where will you go when it is over
feels like when raindrop fall.

So Many Lights

9/6/2019

0 Comments

 

Oh my, look what we've done
This place, no longer fun
True love's a thing of the past
Not sure, how long we will last.

Look around yourself, and watch it with delight
Time to flood the world, with so many lights
so many lights.

Let's go (lalala), I've said it before
We need (lalala), more kindness and joy.

Look around yourself, and watch it with delight
Time to flood the world, with so many lights
Look inside yourself, and watch it with delight
It is time my friend, for so many lights
so many lights.

Not For the Glory

9/6/2019

0 Comments

 

Sometimes I fly, sometimes I fall behind
Even though I know, this is a long lost fight
Struggle I face, for you it is all the same
See how I crumble, for me it is not a game. 

Through the fire I melt down then rise up again you’ll know me
The price of the game it can cost everything that you see.

It’s not for the glory, not the fight to survive
Hold on to hope, and to be free.

I’m still on fire, chances are lost with time
That I will find you, that you’ll be by my side.

True Love

9/6/2019

​This is a story about a girl
that I've recently met
She’s a modern ‘Princess Bride’
more like a baronette
This one is very special
and I’ll tell you why
She’s the kind of girl who
at the same time is naughty & shy.

She brings an end to all the troubles
so sweet & pure
She’s really not what I had on my list
But hey – now I know
for sure – that true love exists.

So we went out for a dinner
in a magical place
When I whispered that I love her
she laughed at my face
The waiter said ‘it’s time to order’
so we went for the fish
‘Will you love me forever’ she asked
I answered ‘as you wish'…
