Know, my beloved son 

Lyrics and Music: Shuli Rand

transltaion: Hava Eylon

They will tell you that you have been uprooted from my heart
And away from my table you have been exiled forever
They will remind you of things you have hidden
Until your entire body will tremble of shame
They will realize thoroughly all your mistakes
Your stupidity, your affection for evil
They will shake their heads “it was in your hands
And now you have no way coming back”.

And you will listen to them
And you will believe them

 

They will prove to you that my mercifulness has some boundaries
You have crossed with your hasten legs
That no scream, no sigh, no trick
Will bring back my face to you
They will tell you about a divine voice whispering
“Come back naughty boys
Everyone, except you”

They will offer you:
“Now when you have been captured into the net
Now, flutter in it for your enjoyment.”

 

Do not listen to them
Do not believe them

 

Know, my beloved son
That you have never been uprooted from my heart
You are always a part of me
A child of grace, a playful son

From their words the truth is not absent
You have what to express remorse about
Things you could have chosen differently
And you did not find the might to regret it
Nevertheless my love, move away from your heart
Each and every frightening thought and dread
Underneath every piercing truth hides
The naked truth

Do not listen to them

Do not believe them

Know, my beloved son
That you have never been uprooted from my heart
You are always a part of me
A child of grace, a playful son
It is true that I love The Justice
But more than that
I love The Mercy
