There's a wind blowing in Well I didn't expect it Hard to accept it Gusting in at top speed Might just knock me me off of my feet But there's a voice kicking in Saying I know you can't stop this But trust me you've got this The winds have something to teach That there's nothing outta your reach When there's a test on my plate It's up to me to choose to say I'm gonna face it and embrace it And I'm not gonna run away, no And maybe this moment is a challenge But I'm not giving up You gave me the tools the strengths the talents And You're always there to lift me up And when I lose my balance And throw up my hands Well it's a chance That you're giving to me To see I've got it in me And maybe this moment is a challenge But I'm not giving up You gave me the tools the strengths the talents And you're always there to lift me up And when I lose my balance And throw up my hands Well it's a chance That you're giving to me To see What I am made of You are the King of everything You are the One who knows me The One who chose me And it's not a piece of cake Yet I know You don't make mistakes Years from now down the line I bet I'd rather be the kind Who looks back and says "I did it" And not "what if I'd have tried, no" And maybe this moment is a challenge But I'm not giving up! You gave me the tools the strengths the talents And you're always there to lift me up And when I lose my balance And throw up my hands Well it's a chance That You're giving to me To see I've got it in me And maybe this moment is a challenge But I'm not giving up! You gave me the tools the strengths the talents And you're always there to lift me up And when I lose my balance And throw up my hands Well it's a chance That You're giving to me To see What I am made of

What happens when the words gets lost inside When the silent tears keep falling and thoughts run dry If I sit and hold a siddur and it's the best that I can do If don't have the words can I still try to talk to You I've been trying since the day I learned to read But some days I just can't ask for what I need And what if I'm afraid that You're not proud of what You see If I don't have the words, can I still feel You talk to me Maybe all You want from me is a broken heart Maybe nothing's as complete as a broken heart You're listening when I can't find the words My pleas are not unseen and my voice not unheard In the little prayer that flows from my broken heart Can You somehow draw me close when I feel so far Surely You who shapes my story part by part Can hear a song that's whole from a broken heart I'm learning that there's no one time or place And that nobody's too small to feel Your embrace And I am learning that You wait to hear my voice To You it's sweet I close my eyes and connect as I repeat Maybe all You want from me is a broken heart Maybe nothing's as complete as a broken heart You're listening when I can't find the words My pleas are not unseen and my voice not unheard In the little prayer that flows from my broken heart You will somehow draw me close when I feel so far Surely You who shapes my story part by part You can hear a song that's whole from a broken heart

I used to wake up with that heavy feeling Were the sun was trying hard to shine But I couldn't see With all the plans I had to make And all the tasks I had to do And who else could fix the world's problems If not me I had to be the one with answers to the questions The one with the lists and the solutions And the goals And who could ever spare a minute to let heaven decide When I was busy fighting fear with my control And so I sat there with my worries And let them weigh me down Turning to myself for answers Where there were none to be found No matter what happens I'll be ok He's with me every step Of the way No matter what happens I'll be ok If I know Who's making the day No matter what happens I'll be ok He's with me every step Of the way No matter what happens I'll be ok If I know Who's making the day So these days I'm waking up With a whole new feeling The sun can shine Without me telling it how to be My jobs to smile, do my best And tell myself on repeat I know who can fix the world's problems It ain't me No, won't sit here with my worries And let them me weigh me down If I can place them in His Hands And watch Him turn it around No matter what happens I'll be ok He's with me every step Of the way No matter what happens I'll be ok He's with me every step of my day No matter what happens I'll be ok He's with me every step Of the way No matter what happens I'll be ok He's with me every step of my day

I'm not sure sometimes If I want to laugh or cry Cuz life feels so uneasy The reality is harsh But other times I look outside And a bird will catch my eye Or a snowflake on a leaf Or a rainbow in the sky Stop the world for a minute Maybe more Cuz there are such nice touches in it I have so much to be grateful for I don't need a reason to sing and dance Just living breathing and giving thanks For the gifts in my life הודו הודו לה' Just looking out for the little things And I find the biggest joys they bring The more I see the more I sing הודו הודו לה' הודו הודו לה' Oh, how could I Go on and pass right by When there's a crimson sunset Firing up the sky And how about all the times When raindrops patter to the ground Last cookie, cup of tea Wait- He did that just for me Stop the world for a minute Take it in He's saying hi I'm here for you In the little hugs I get from him I Don't need a reason to sing and dance Just living breathing and giving thanks For the gifts in my life הודו הודו לה' Just looking out for the little things And I find the biggest joy they bring The more I see the more I sing הודו הודו לה' הודו הודו לה' Give me yeshuos and refuos we all plead Yes there's so much that Klal Yisroel needs But just stop and make a list Of all the good stuff that you missed! And say 'הודו לה I don't really need a reason to sing and dance Just living breathing and giving thanks For the gifts in my life הודו הודו לה' Just looking out for the little things And I find the biggest joy they bring And I think they're not small at all הודו הודו לה' הודו הודו לה' הודו הודו לה' הודו הודו לה' הודו הודו לה' הודו הודו לה' הודו הודו לה'

There once was a prince with a fire in his eyes And a palace he built of his dreams With towering visions of chasing the skies And the glory he'd bring to his King But one day a black cloud of evil set in A storm washed the palace away in the wind And all that's left is the pain of one word Written on his face He cries איכה- how can this be This wasn't the life I was chosen to lead איכה- a question, a plea Can the fate that I am facing be my destiny The words of a nation who wept bitter tears For their beautiful city, now gone, disappeared They cried איכה And their cry is alive There once stood a palace Bathed in a glow That only the heavens could guild A place for the people Hashem cherished so A mikdash they lovingly built But angry red flames They devoured it all The city, the palace, the peace As the heartbroken princes stood Witnessing this tragedy Oh- איכה ישבה בדד I am left here alone with no comfort in sorrow איכה - I just need to know Will the dreams that I nourished have hope of tomorrow Yisrael I now understand your pain Yisrael the cry is resounding again In the איכה my broken heart cries איכה ישבה בדד, העיר רבתי עם הייתה כאלמנה I weep with you now yerushalayim As the churban that burns us Persists to remain על אלה אני בוכיה As the tears of mourning, pour forth from my heart על אלה אני בוכיה Over the ruins and rubble of hopes torn apart בת ציון, you've asked it for years without cease בת ציון, my heart joins with yours to beseech Still איכה How can this be How can this be
