the real words to the song

for the song that Chaya Gansburg sang, (scroll down or go to the older post to watch the video) here are the real words:


Gently it flows, with a sparkling blue
And I gaze, filled with calm and with peace
Then from above, as the skies turn to dark
Ever sudden, a thunder released
Stillness is shattered as tidal waves roar
As they strike, those around me are drawn
Can I remain ever tranquil with joy
When the life of a friend has been torn?
Oh, Hashem, yes I know that you’re holding a plan
It’s a tapestry woven with care
Yet the beauty concealed from my mortal view below
All I see are knots everywhere
Oceans can be filled with our tears
With the pain of a people who’ve suffered too long
עד מתי I now cry for you hear
Where’s the justice of grief that befalls your righteous ones
למה הרעות, I cry
Questions without answers: oh, why?
Facing the sea, in my heart I declare
I will stand; I will share in your pain
Never, my friends, shall my joy be complete
Till the day you will smile again
The darkness conceals, yet the strength that I hold
Is the force of Emunah, I know
For soon you will stride with our king as your guide
The unknown then revealed, you will glow
Oh, Hashem, yes I know that you’re holding a plan
It’s a tapestry woven with care
How I yearn to reveal it within this world below
Waiting for the loved ones so dear
Certain the Geulah is near
And until then, I vow to be nurtured and touched
By the souls that have left yet remain
As I cry עד מתי and I long for their return
Always I’ll remember and do
והחי יתן אל לבו, for you
