Abie Rotenberg/A Kumsitz in the Rain
Am Dm G Am
I am an ancient wall of stone
F G Am
atop a hill so high
Am Dm G Am
And if you listen with your heart
F G Am
You just may hear my cry
C Am
Where has the Bais Hamikdash gone
F G C
I stand here all alone
C Am
How long am I to wait for all
F G C
My children to come home
Am Dm G Am
A house of marble and of gold
F G Am
Once stood here by my side
Am Dm G Am
From far and wide all came to see
F G Am
Its beauty and its pride
C Am
But Sin’as Chinam brought it down
F G C
And with it so much pain
C Am
Now only Ahavas Yisrael
F G C
Can build it once again
Chorus 1
G Am
Together together
G Em
We stood by Har Sinai
Dm Am
My daughters and sons
G Am
Forever forever
G Em
We must stand together
Dm Am
Forever as one
Am Dm G Am
You come and stand beside my stones
F G Am
To raise your voice in prayer
Am Dm G Am
You ask “When will the Galus end
F G Am
How much more can we bear?”
C Am
But Sinas Chinam still lives on
F G C
It lingers in your heart
C Am
How can you come back home to me
F G C
While you remain apart
Chorus 2
G Am
Together together
G Em
We stood by Har Sinai
Dm Am
My daughters and sons
G Am
Forever forever
G Em
We must stand together
Dm Am
Forever as one
G Am
Together together
G Em
We stood by Har Sinai
Dm Am
B’nai Avraham.
G Am
Forever, forever,
G Em
We must stand together
Dm Am
Forever as one
