Lyrics
"Verse 1
Between the crown and the final seal,
A narrow bridge of honest real—
“Return,” the haftorah calls our name,
Not to panic, but to change.
Verse 2
Teshuvah is not a perfect mask,
It’s turning back to what we ask:
A softer word, a truer plan,
A repaired self, a rebuilt man.
Verse 3
Not only “sorry,” not only tears,
But steps that last through coming years—
A return to God by returning
To the best in us, still burning.
Bridge
The days are short, the work is deep,
So keep one promise you can keep:
One call you owe, one wrong you mend,
One habit you will finally end.
Final Verse
Shuvah, return, the gate is near—
A Sabbath stitched with awe and clear:
Not who you were, not who you fear,
But who you can become this year."
