Ani Yehudi – Yaakov Shwekey

Every generation of Jews has carried its own tears, its own fears, and its own question of whether we’ll rise again. From the beginning of time to the challenges we still face today, the story somehow keeps repeating itself, yet so does our strength.
“Ani Yehudi” is about that unbreakable pride that refuses to disappear. The understanding that no matter how many times the Jewish people are challenged, attacked, or counted out, we are still here, still believing, still singing.

Lyrics:
As I look at the years, who can count the tears
So many lost, so many fears
I often wonder
Will this lion rise again
Mama born in the DP camps
Hopes inside her heart that she will dance again
But I often wonder
Repetition of the trend
Every generation
Hoping for salvation
Open up and see - it’s You
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi
Way up on a hill
For all the world to see
There we were as one with You
So many memories
How can we forget
The peace and harmony
Our faith cemented
Lives of purity
But in our hearts we know
The promise that You made
That we will sing again
And never to forsake
To the only nation
That crowned You as our King
Every generation
Hoping for salvation
Open up and see - it's You
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi
They try to erase us
But we still fight
’Cause you can’t kill a people
That are made of light
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi
Say it out loud, sing it out proud
Ani Yehudi, Ani Yehudi
