Tearin' the Sea
Our sages say a voice through the haze
Before we were conceived
Had us each paired to our beshert
If we'd merit that decree
They say our Maker makes all matches
But it's not easy and free
It's hard to pair as it was to tear the sea!
Now what can be hard for the Almighty God
Whose power knows no bound?
Well maybe our Maker must take from another
Or see God's handiwork drown
Our Maker makes all matches
But it's not easy and free
It's hard to pair as it was to tear the sea!
Well what's the chance you'd hang around
After leavin' the job that brought you to town
And nearby that year revealed
An opening in my narrow field
And I got the offer
Before I gave others an answer?
And what's the chance
Your local friend was a friend since childhood
Of the mother of my friend since childhood
And that got us introduced and
We were ready despite all we'd been through?
But when forty miles and five jobs between us
Left no time to convene us
What's the chance my dad discovered
That ten doors down I had third cousins
Whose home was empty
When they left each winter
'cause who until you would keep it kosher?
So that winter, there you stayed
That's how we got engaged
It's too small a chance all that was chance
Too small a chance that was all chance!
Our Maker makes all matches
But it's not easy and free
It's hard to pair as it was to tear the sea!
Tearin' the sea
Joy of soul once again whole
Tearin' the sea
We dance and sing with tambourine
Tearin' the sea
We find faith in narrow straits
Tearin' the sea
Walk on dry ground though waters surround
Tear in the sea
Tear in the sea
You and me!
Before we were conceived
Had us each paired to our beshert
If we'd merit that decree
They say our Maker makes all matches
But it's not easy and free
It's hard to pair as it was to tear the sea!
Now what can be hard for the Almighty God
Whose power knows no bound?
Well maybe our Maker must take from another

Tearin' the sea
Walk on dry ground though waters surround
Tear in the sea
Tear in the sea
You and me!
