I like music. Very much. It is one of my tools that keep me going.
I also like writing, and I often combine the two likes.
Last night and today, I was struck with some creativity (READ- Siyata Di Shmaya), and I wrote this.
Meir

Edit:I am using this thread for posting lyrics of songs I found inspiring and/or helpful. Sometime, I will post a new thread with a playlist of regular songs to listen to.

To the tune of "Margoa", Yosef Chaim Shwekey, Lo Lefached.

Feeling like I've lost the fight,
Seems that none feel my plight,
Trapped, for no one can know,
Still, I have nowhere to go.

Aware of how low I've sunk,
I'm left feeling dazed and drunk,
Now I'm ready to give in,
I see no way, to transcend my sin,

Now at GYE, there's a way,
I begin to glimpse the light of day,
I can keep on trucking, I am armed for my fight,
Suddenly, the future's shining bright.

The work that must be done does not phaze,
the sunlight melts away the haze,
Those around me wonder as they see a new man,
It's GYE- They taught me that I can!

Passed the 90-day-clean mark,
worked to create my ark,
Free to focus on my life,
my friends, my children and my wife.

Falls can happen at times,
and I pay the Taphsic fines,
No depression, that's the key,
And, of course, self honesty,

For now, at GYE, there's a way,
I can live in the light of day,
I will keep on trucking, I continue the fight,
Now that my future's shining bright.

The work that must be done will not phaze,
I'm no longer living in a daze,
I am filled with wonder, now I feel like a man,
For GYE taught me that I can!

The few, are not through, much to do, they reach to another...
another lost soul.
He cries, they ask why, and they try, to help him fly, together...
and help him toward his goal....

For now, at GYE, there's a way,
I can live in the light of day,
I will keep on trucking, I continue the fight,
Now that my future's shining bright.

The work that must be done will not phaze,
I'm no longer living in a daze,
I am filled with wonder, now I feel like a man,
For GYE taught me that I can!

	Baby steps. If the road is pulling you down, it's a sign that you are going uphill, so just press harder on the gas! Have a great day - unless, of course, you made other plans.

Keep Climbing, Avraham Fried, from the album Keep Climbing or רצוננו לראות את מלכינו

Avraham Fried, Keep Climbing, Keep Climbing
Life is a mountain we must climb,
We don’t have forever, just the time He gives us,
Get to the top if you can-
This is the challenge of man.

Yes, you might fall and tumble down,
Sometimes that happens when you dare,
Knowing you, my child, you’ll pick yourself up, start again from there….

Keep climbing, don’t let nothing stand in your way,
Keep believing, pay no attention to what they say,
Up is where you wanna go,
It’s dark and lonely down below.

Keep fighting, this is one fight you won’t regret.
Keep believing you’ve got what it takes, now don’t forget,
Up is where you belong,
It’s where your soul will find her song!

Make sure you take one step at a time,
Remember that surrender is the road to nowhere*.
Be proud of how far you’ve come,
You said it couldn’t be done.

Dig in and breath out, there’s more to climb,
To give up now would be such an awful shame,
Give it all you’ve got, my child,
You don’t want to lose all that you have gained!

Keep climbing, don’t let nothing stand in your way,
Keep believing, pay no attention to what they say,
Up is where you wanna go,
It’s dark and lonely down below. So,

Keep fighting, this is one fight you won’t regret.
Keep believing you’ve got what it takes, now don’t forget,
Up is where you belong,
It’s where your soul will find her song!

There’s no thrill when standing still,
But there is a way when there is a will,
Touch the Divine,
Continue to climb!!!

Keep climbing, don’t let nothing stand in your way,
Keep believing, pay no attention to what they say,
Up is where you wanna go,
Oh, It’s dark and lonely, lonely down below.

Don’t let nothing stand in your way…
Keep believing…

Oh, keep fighting, this is one fight you won’t regret.
Oh, keep believing you’ve got what it takes, now don’t forget,
Up is where you belong,
It’s where your soul will find her song!

Life is a mountain we must climb.

*He obviously never fought an addiction.

You Are My Strength by Eli Nathan on Destiny 4

A beautiful song, written about those desperate souls who function completely on Bitachon, as the Posuk says, וצדיק באמונתו יחיה. Sung by Dov Levine.

He came to the village one day, a poor, impoverished man,
Battered shoes, and tattered clothes, people scorn him where he goes,
And clutched in his hand, he’s held throughout the ages,
A leather-bound book of Psalms, with tear-stained yellow pages,
And in times of trouble, when there’s no place left to go,
He sings a song from the depths of his heart and soul, of his heart and soul.

You are my strength, my Almighty King,
On You I do depend, and to You I sing.

You walk into a synagogue, in a corner stands a man,
No one seems to notice him, say hello, shake his hand,
He wraps himself in a Tallis with fringes very old,
And his Tephillin so tenderly he holds,
He handles them like gold.
And with great devotion, with his eyes afire like coals,
He sings a song from the depths of his heart and soul, of his heart and soul.

You are my strength, my Almighty King,
On You I do depend, and to You I sing.

When you’re lost, cannot find your way,
Need a new direction on a dark and stormy day,
But if you listen close, amid the chirping of the birds
And the rushing of the winds, His voice can still be heard, His voice can still be heard.

You are my strength, my Almighty King,
On You I do depend, and to You I sing.
You are my strength, my Almighty King,
On You, only You I do depend, and to You I sing, I sing, I sing.

One Day at a Time by Shloime Dachs on One Day at a Time

This is another song that sounds like it was written just for us. Spooky...

When waking every morning, I long to see the way
Everything You’ve made comes together.
Opening my eyes to the miracles each day,
It helps to know Your guiding light is here to stay.

And as I rise up slowly, I gather strength and say,
I am not alone- You are with me.
And one day at a time as I try to find my way,
I’ll reach for You, and feel you near me as I pray!

Give me strength to grow and see,
Who I am, who I need to be,
And with You by my side, I have nothing to hide,
If I can come to You honestly.

And when it’s all too much for me,
I’ll hold on tight and You’ll carry me,
Just one day at a time, I look to You and I’m fine,
All along You believed in me.

Give me strength to grow and see,
Who I am, who I need to be,
And with You by my side, I have nothing to hide,
If I can come to You honestly.

And when it’s all too much for me,
I’ll hold on tight and You’ll carry me,
Just one day at a time, I look to You and I’m fine,
All along You believed in me.

So many beginnings, so many times we fall,
Each and every time is a chance to grow.
But only when I search for the meaning in my day,
I feel You close, I sense Your wisdom and I know.

That every test and challenge is only but a gift,
A chance to seek You out and to find You.
To try and see things clearly, to give my soul a lift,
To feel Your strength, to see Your light come shining through.

Give me strength to grow and see,
Who I am, who I need to be,
And with You by my side, I have nothing to hide,
If I can come to You honestly.

And when it’s all too much for me,
I’ll hold on tight and You’ll carry me,
Just one day at a time, I look to You and I’m fine,
All along You believed in me.

Give us strength to grow and see,
Who we are, who we need to be,
And with You by our side, we have nothing to hide,
If we can come to You honestly.

And when the burden’s too much for us,
We’ll hold on tight and you’ll carry us,
Just one day at a time, we’ll look to You and we’re fine,
You were all we had to trust.

Give me strength to grow and see,
Who I am, who I need to be,
And with You by my side, I have nothing to hide,
If I can come to You honestly.

And when it’s all too much for me,
I’ll hold on tight and You’ll carry me,
Just one day at a time, I look to You and I’m fine,
All along You believed in me.
(Etc.)

#4 The Candle Still Burns by Yehuda Green in Land of Your Soul
Shkoyach Reb Noorah for posting this.
Noorah wrote on 24 Jun 2012 17:38:

Just heard this amazing song "the Candle Still Burns "by Yehuda Green seems to have been written for the Holy warriors on GYE _ what an awesome song!!both the lyrics and the music -

Lyrics:

I watch as the candle keeps burning
Amazed by its flame reaching high
A sparkle, my soul begins staring
Causing my spirit to cry

Surrounded by constant temptations
While even a world full of pain
Falling for fleeting sensations
Pulling us further from him

Its never too late
We all make mistakes
No matter how far wherever you are
Its never to late
Do not despair
For you can repair
As long as there light
You'll see through the night
You'll see through the night

Closer to him
Day by day
When I pray
Closer to him
When I learn
When I return

Imagine a world without seasons
Imagine a world without change
There would never be a good reason
To ever look forward again

Its never too late
We all make mistakes
No matter how far wherever you are
Its never too late
Do not despair
For you can repair
As long as there light
You'll see through the night
You'll see through the night

Its never too late
We all make mistakes
No matter how far wherever you are
Its never too late
The vision of lite
Will brighten my life
My prayers by night
Will turn into light
Will turn into light

Closer to him
Day by day
When I pray
Closer to him
When I learn
When I return

As long as the candle is burning
As long as the candle still looms
My vision of life will keep turning
As long as my eyes keeps on yearning

Kevin Pond Current streak: 116 days OFFLINE Expert Boarder Posts: 120 Karma: 0	the song that i find most inspiring in my struggle is "carry on" by Lipa. i can't quite quote the lyrics now, but it is a great, slow moving song in English in "pushite yid", describing Yaakov Avinu's fight with Esav's malach in a unique way. hey, do you guys think that some, or any, of our frum singers/ composers have us strugglers in mind when they write such songs? i bet'cha they do...

#5 Carry On by Lipa in A Poshiter Yid

He found himself standing in the dark,
Facing an enemy who sought to slay his heart,
All alone, in the black of night,
Without his family to aid him in his fight.

And as the dust rose up from the ground,
They battled endlessly to bring each other down,
The hours passed, had the time come to retreat?
Perhaps surrender, and admit defeat?

A voice inside him said, “Carry on,
You must face your fear and persevere until the light of dawn.
You’ll find the strength you never knew [was] buried deep inside of you,
Yes, you will rise up, you must carry on.”
Vayeivosier Yaakov, Yaakov Levadoi,
Vayeioveik Ish Imoi
Ad Alois Hashuchar, Ad Alois Hashuchar,
Veloi, Veloi, Veloi Yuchal Loi.

We all have moments, struggles day to day,
It just seems easier to throw it all away,
We must remember we can make the climb,
A gift of courage from the dawn of time.

A voice inside me says, “Carry on,
You must face your fear and persevere until the light of dawn.
You’ll find the strength you never knew [was] buried deep inside of you,
Yes, you will rise above, you will rise up, you must carry on.”
Vayeivosier Yaakov, Yaakov Levadoi,
Vayeioveik Ish Imoi
