Sometimes, Jewish music will pull you in. It’ll understand your emotions in a way that words can’t describe. This song is one of those songs.
Meaningful Jewish Music
You have just got to love Jewish music like this. The words are beautiful. The feelings are real. The emotion is tangible. We can all relate to a song like this. During the High Holidays season, we have made promises to G-d to be better for the next year. Really, it is something that happens throughout the entire year. And sometimes, we fail. Sometimes, we fall. But G-d is always waiting for us with open arms. He will always give us a second chance if we truly want to improve and be closer to Him.
We can’t always describe our feelings, and that is when music can help. These lyrics are right on point. Aryeh Kunstler is an extremely talented musician whose lyrics everyone can relate to.
I was standing out by the edge of the sea
Sending my sins out with the breeze
Came here to cast my past away
But a past is pretty hard to shake.
How can I just apologize
Another year gone, did I even try
But from way above the stormy sky
A father’s words to his hurting child.
Till your very last day I’ll be waiting for you
Doesn’t matter where you’ve been or what you’ve been through
I’ll be waiting here with open arms
You are never too far, never too far gone.
As I’m standing here, feet in the sand
Waves roll in from the sea to the land
Sometimes we fall and that’s ok
There’s a way back home just you said.
