Neal Katz: Music
V’heishiv
V'HEISHIV
words and music by Neal Katz and Alan Cook
based on Malachi 3:24 and Aleinu
Looking at all the pain in the world
as we fight against one another
I wonder if the day will ever arrive
when we learn to love each other
The Bible teaches that a time will come
when brotherhood will replace rage
And Elijah the prophet will visit us
to usher in that age
Veheshiv lev avot al banim, al banim
Velev banim al avotam
On that day peace will reign over the world
as we all unite as one,
And the lion and lamb will lie down side-by-side,
and hatred will be gone
And parents and children will open their hearts,
embrace each other with love,
And God’s name will be known throughout the earth
as it is in the heavens above
Veheshiv...
As we walk down the roads of our lives
As our visions of peace come alive
We are building a world without fear
Counting the days ‘til Elijah - he draws near
Veheshiv...
