Neshomel'e - Mordechai Ben David

Come with me, little Neshama’leh

And let me hold you in my hand

And we’ll fly away, you and I together

To a place down on the land

Come with me, little Neshama’le

Don’t shy away

Do as you’re told

There’s a little child waiting to be born today

You’re to be his spark, his soul

But dear Malach’l, no!

I don’t want to go!

There is so much much pain and evil

Upon the earth below

Let me stay here up in heaven where it’s safe and I’ll be pure

Please don’t make me go away

Can’t you see I’m so afraid?

Come with me, little Neshama’le

It’s time you faced your destiny

Amd as we fly beneath the clouds now, I will show you

There is so much you can be

Yes, dear Malach’l, I can see kedusha over there

There’s someone learning Torah

There’s another deep in prayer

I will stay here if you answer me

It’s all I need to know

You must promise me, my dear friend

That I, too, will be like them

Come with me, little Neshama’le

Oh, it’s a task that I must do

As I tap you on the lip, you will forget me

You’re on your own

It’s up to you

Come with me, little Neshama’le

And let me hold you in my hand

And we’ll fly away, you and I together

To a place above the land

But dear Malach’l, no!

I don’t want to go!

I’m not ready to go with you

Where you take me I don’t know

Let me stay right where I am

There’s so much more I need to do

Please don’t make me go away

Can’t you see I’m so afraid

Come with me, little Neshama’le

I’ve only come to take you home

And there is no beed to fear your destination

You’ve earned a place right by the throne

A place right by the throne
