To Be a Yid
It's time to take a journey, to travel both far and within
We must march to this challenge, will we lose, or will we win?
There's a secret to uncover, to the treasure we must dig
The question must be answered, what does it mean – to be a Yid?
From the nations of the world, He decided that He would choose us
They know that we are different, that's the source of the fuss
Apparently, they know it, but do we know it too?
Can we somehow understand, what does it mean – to be a Jew?
We've been around for so long, and we'll be here, through every age
We've got a leading role to play, on this world-wide global stage
To be a light unto the nations, that's how we serve Him
To act like Am Segulah is what it means - to be a Yid
Our Bubbies and our Zaidies, had the toughest choice to make
"Hold on to your Yiddishkeit, or your lives will be at stake"
It's not just theoretical, we all know what they did
Why did they choose Hashem Echad, what does it mean - to be a Yid?
Now if it's worth dying for, as they all just seemed to know
It must be worth living for, and not just for long ago
The Torah must have meaning, it's eternal and it's true
Now it's up to us to ask, what does it mean - to be a Jew?
We've been around for so long, and we'll be here, through every age
We've got a leading role to play, on this world-wide global stage
To be a light unto the nations, that's how we serve Him
To act like Am Segulah is what it means - to be a Yid
We must march to this challenge, will we lose, or will we win?
There's a secret to uncover, to the treasure we must dig
The question must be answered, what does it mean – to be a Yid?
From the nations of the world, He decided that He would choose us
They know that we are different, that's the source of the fuss
Apparently, they know it, but do we know it too?
Can we somehow understand, what does it mean – to be a Jew?
We've been around for so long, and we'll be here, through every age
We've got a leading role to play, on this world-wide global stage
To be a light unto the nations, that's how we serve Him
To act like Am Segulah is what it means - to be a Yid
Our Bubbies and our Zaidies, had the toughest choice to make
"Hold on to your Yiddishkeit, or your lives will be at stake"

To act like Am Segulah is what it means - to be a Yid
