Stragely Enough, Shabbes
After years of alienation
from my religion
and after having fun on many
Friday nights at the beach or in a bar
Strangely enough, Shabbes has
come to find a place in my life
The singing- and of course the Shema
revitalizes one
Nothing would happen to me if I
didn't go to shul on Friday
(and sometimes I don't)
but how could I join in
the dancing if I wasn't there?
I have even travelled to
the land of Israel - holy spot for
the three Abrahamic faiths
Strangely enough,Shabbes
