Lyrics
Intro – Awakening (Soft pads, rising pulse)
Her:
מוֹדָה אֲנִי… breath returns to me,
Light restored invisibly.
Him:
מוֹדֶה אֲנִי… soul set free,
Given back deliberately.
Together:
Before we rise, before we move,
Gratitude becomes the groove.
Hands lift — then fall —
Sanctify the moment, all.
Verse 1 – Netilat Yadayim (Pulse begins)
Him:
Left and right — once and again,
Water falling like quiet rain.
Her:
Left and right — once and again,
Wash the night from bone and skin.
Together:
Not just dust, not just sleep,
Clean the thoughts we choose to keep.
Train the body, train the will,
Holiness begins in still.
Verse 2 – Distinct Garments (Beat softens)
Him:
Wrap the טָלֵית, yoke on shoulders,
צִיצִית threads like sacred holders.
Bind, bind, bind the arm and mind —
Sign and symbol intertwined.
Her:
Clothe in grace without display,
Crowned in quiet strength each day.
Sanctuary in how I stand,
Holiness within my hand.
Together:
Different forms, one flame inside,
Two reflections side by side.
Verse 3 – Praise & Shema (Tempo builds)
Her:
Blessed is He who spoke the sky,
Morning breath and lullaby.
Him:
Barachu — we bend as one,
Not undone, but overcome.
Together:
Cover eyes — the world grows small,
שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל — over all.
Love with heart and love with soul,
Love with strength beyond control.
Teach these words when we rise,
When we walk beneath the skies.
Kiss the צִיצִית — pull them near,
Truth is whispered: אֶמֶת here.
Pre-Climax – Three Steps
Together:
Three steps forward, draw in near,
Cross from time to standing Here.
Feet together, breath aligned,
Body steadies heart and mind.
CLIMAX – Amidah (Heavy drop, emotional surge)
Him:
Stand tall in Amidah light,
Whisper truth into the night.
Her:
Stand in strength without disguise,
Ancient faith before our eyes.
Together:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ
וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְאִמּוֹתֵינוּ —
G-d of Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov,
G-d of Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel, Leah.
Shield of promise, ancient flame,
Source before and after Name.
We bow for those who came before,
We bow for covenant at the core.
In מוֹדִים we bow again —
For miracles with us each day,
For wonders walking in our breath,
For kindness stronger still than death.
Morning, noon, and falling night —
Gratitude ignites the light.
Descent – Three Steps Back
Together:
Three steps back — don’t rush away,
Carry heaven through the day.
Bow once more before we turn,
Let the living fire burn.
Aleinu – Unified Joy
עָלֵינוּ לְשַׁבֵּחַ לַאֲדוֹן הַכֹּל —
It is our joy to praise the Whole.
וַאֲנַחְנוּ כּוֹרְעִים וּמִשְׁתַּחֲוִים —
And here we bow —
Not smaller now,
But somehow higher now.
Joy in kneeling,
Strength in bend,
Heaven and earth
Together blend.
Leaving Shul – Nostalgic Close (Tempo slows)
Him:
Unwrap the תְּפִילִּין, fold the טָלֵית,
Carry the echo of what we create.
Her:
Step from the ark without turning away,
Student departing the light of the day.
Together:
ה׳ נְחֵנִי בְּצִדְקָתֶךָ —
Lead us in Your righteousness.
Do not run as though we flee,
Prayer is not a burden to be free.
If we hurry — let it be
Toward more Torah calling me.
Outro (Soft dual harmony)
Her:
The body learns the quiet way.
Him:
The steps remember how to pray.
Together:
Two paths, one flame,
Two voices, one Name.
The body knows the way…
The body knows the way…
