This song tell about a dark and cold world that we live in, and how the Torah gives light and warmth and beauty to the world.
The Lyrics;
I search and I wander, lost and alone,
My friend’s but a shadow, and no place my home.
The sun shines so strongly, but I cannot see,
The road is too steep with no passage for me.
I’m merely a child, but inside I’ve grown old,
The world cannot touch me, for each touch is cold.
The warmth that I search for is nowhere in sight,
I see only sorrow, I see only night.
A voice came to meet me, extending its heart,
A voice pleading softly, “do not stand apart”,
A voice giving warmth I’d not known before,
A voice casting light as it opened the door.
I followed that voice, and soon I could see,
A room filled with children all welcoming me
The beauty of Torah was drawing me near,
A light in the darkness, so pure and so clear.
A voice came to greet me, extending its heart,
A voice pleading softly, “do not stand apart”,
A voice giving warmth I’d not known before,
A voice casting light as it opened the door.
I followed that voice, and soon I could see,
A room filled with children no different than me The study of Torah, I hope and I pray, will shatter the darkness, turn night into day.
