Em
The war had seemed so endless
Am Em
Yet somehow they survived
Am
Free at last but spiritless and frail,
B7
When a Rebbe showed them love
Em D C
And they began to mend
Am
But that’s just one part
B7
Of this precious little tale.
Em
It was to be the first Pesach
Am Em
After years devoid of light
When the Rebbe of Skulen
Am
Stood with his son,
B
And they announced there will be matzos
Em D C
For the seder night
Am B Em
But enough, to only give each person one.
C G D G
Al Hatzaddikim, the righteous and devout
Em
With love in their hearts
C D G
They lift us up when we stumble and fall,
Am Em C Em
V’al Hachasi-dim, the saintly and the pure
C D
Only Hashem knows the burden
Em
The burden they bear for us all.
Em
With two large sacks of flour
Am Em
A small oven made of brick
The rebbe baked
Am
As tears streamed from his eyes,
B7
Measured oh so carefully
Em D C
Neither thin nor thick
Am B
Each round matzah a kezayis in size.
Em
Along with the aroma
Am
That drifted through the air
One could sense that hope and healing
Am
Had begun,
B
Again, the Rebbe sent out word,
Em D C
Yiddelach, be fair
Am
Please, come and take,
B7 Em
But take no more than one.
C G D G
Al Hatzaddikim, the righteous and devout
Em
With love in their hearts
C D G
They lift us up when we stumble and fall,
Am Em C Em
V’al Hachasi-dim, the saintly and the pure
C D
Only Hashem knows the burden
