David Ross - Ashira Lach

Ashira Lach

As we lay the final stones of our future
And the mortar seems it's just about to dry
The hour is upon us
Our task is finally here
To help our seedling's branches reach the sky

Through the glass we see the brightest of reflections
And the energy that fills these open halls
The fact that we're both teachers
And students of Chayim
We've learned that our potential has no walls

And we stand as one
As our voices have become
And we sing a
Shir chadash ashira lach
And we raise our hands
As we turn to promised lands
And we sing a
Shir chadash ashira lach

To the cherished souls from which on high are smiling
As we make their dream become reality
Forever is no longer
The time for us is now
For him, for her, for them, for you, for me

For we'll mark this day as one remembered
As we all assembled
Full of courage, joy and pride
And our anthem came alive

Ke echad omdim
Ve koleynu meoochadim
Ve nashira shir chadash ashira lach
Ve nishtachaveh
El artzeynu nitpalel
Ve nashira shir chadash ashira lach
