Elu D’varim

Sometimes, there are no words to describe
The color of sun, the blue of the sky
We rely on something deep inside that tells us to
Try and try to do what’s right, just because
Our lives begin with everything we’ll ever need. Our lives begin with tears of joy
The birth of love and melody, a mother’s lullaby, a father’s harmony
In time we realize these are the only things we’ll ever need
Chorus
Elu d’varim, these are the things we do, the things we choose
Elu d’varim, these are the things we do, the things we choose
Elu d’varim, sheh’ein lahem, sheh’ein lahem shiur
Elu d’varim, these are the things
Sometimes, the clearest rules only color the outlines
Leave the rest for us to decide
We may be blind to the direction and the details
But we see the simple truth like a
Street light leading us to what is right
Chorus
So we give, we give, we give when no one’s looking
We love, we love, the stranger who no one’s loving
We learn, we learn, to turn the page again and again
Each word, each word reminds us
Where we’ve come from
How far we can grow
Chorus
