Lyrics
Intro — Clean Electric + Synth Pad
Cold months fading in the rearview glass,
Winter’s shadow finally passed,
We heard it rise in synagogue light —
A whisper turning into might.
Drums roll slow like distant thunder,
Something’s breaking through the slumber,
Shabbat declared it bold and clear —
רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ נִיסָן is here!
Verse 1
אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ —
We lift it up and call to You.
יַעֲלֶה וְיָבֹא — let it rise,
Like a dawn across the skies.
יַגִּיעַ through the midnight air,
יֵרָאֶה in answered prayer,
יִשָּׁמַע when the crowd cries out —
Let redemption shout!
Pre-Chorus — Drum Build
Remember us for good tonight,
Break the chains, ignite the light,
We’ve swept the corners of our fear —
Freedom’s drawing near!
Chorus — BIG ARENA HOOK
Rise and come — יַעֲלֶה וְיָבֹא!
Let it echo, let it glow!
From dusty floors to open skies —
Let the hope arise!
רֹאשׁ הַחֹדֶשׁ — brand new flame,
Nothing ever stays the same!
חַג הַמַּצּוֹת on the horizon line —
It’s our time!
Verse 2 — House Cleaning Montage
We shake the crumbs from hidden seams,
Old regrets and broken dreams,
Sweep the חמץ from the shelf —
And from the heart itself.
Open windows, sunlight floods,
Old excuses in the dust,
Every room begins to breathe —
Time to believe.
וְזִכְרוֹן יְרוּשָׁלַיִם — in our song,
וְזִכְרוֹן כָּל עַמְּךָ — we belong,
לְטוֹבָה לְחֵן לְחֶסֶד too —
We look to You.
Pre-Chorus — Bigger
וּפָּקְדֵנוּ לִבְרָכָה tonight,
וְהוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ לְחַיִּים in light,
Hands raised high — the crowd declares —
You’re still there!
Chorus — Louder
Rise and come — יַעֲלֶה וְיָבֹא!
Let the whole wide world know!
From exile dust to promised land —
We stand!
רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ נִיסָן, feel the sound!
Freedom’s heartbeat all around!
Clean the house and clear the soul —
We’re made whole!
Bridge — Power Ballad Breakdown
(Drums drop. Guitar clean.)
Maybe it’s quiet when You move,
Maybe it’s something we slowly prove,
Not every sea splits in two —
Sometimes You rewrite what’s true.
A sleepless king, a whispered call,
A rising month that changes all,
We’ve seen the dark, we’ve felt the scar —
But here we are.
Guitar Solo
(Big 80’s soaring solo over driving rhythm.)
Final Chorus — Key Change
Rise and come — יַעֲלֶה וְיָבֹא!
Higher now — let it overflow!
From every home to heaven’s throne —
We’re not alone!
רֹאשׁ חֹדֶשׁ נִיסָן, hear our cry!
Lift us up and let us fly!
חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם — forever You are —
Our shining star!
Rise and come!
Let it start!
Clean this house —
Clean this heart!
Outro — Big Sustained Note
כי אליך עינינו —
Eyes on You.
King חַנּוּן וְרַחוּם —
Faithful and true.
(Drums crash. Sustained chord.)
