Story Behind The Song

Moshe "Moses" Daniel is a Kabbalist and alchemist, focusing on healing and the letting go of ancient beliefs systems that limit and bind us to the past and to unhappy ways. This song is a beautiful poetic message to those who have embraced the Law of Moses as the Only Way, and shows, speaks, and suggests another way, fuller and freer, and still walking in the path of the Divine.

Song Description

A beautiful, epic stypel storytelling genre, from the perspective of Moses singing to the Jewish people and those who have followed the Five Books of Moses about the past, present, and the need to let go of ancient belief systems and join the New World, free of the bindings of the Law.

Lyrics

Part I

Dm Gm
You know I was, doing all right,
A7 C Gm Dm
I saw the good land and I knew I was home.
Dm Bb
I don't know why, I struck that stone!
C A7 Dm
War could have ended, but I put my hand on the throne

C Bb
I've walked so long, the path ahead is faded,
C Bb Dm
My strength is gone, and I am not going to make it, Hur and Aharon



Dm Gm A7 Dm
Alone, I've crawled, with broken knees bleedin',
Down past the river, I've seen across the shore,
I could have bathed, in holy water,
And seen a place where men need fight no more,

C Bb
How come the sun, burns but I'm still shivering,
C Bb
Why do my people still need delivering?

Chorus 1 - Ehye Usher Ehye
Ehye usher Eyhe Dm Am Bb A7



Dm Gm
Home is a place freed from the week's labours,
C Gm Dm
And a land with a rule golden for its neighbors,
Dm Gm
And I ask you now, is there anywhere that'll take me in,
C Gm Dm
Where I can rest and not worry about the bite of the scorpion?



Bb C
Whoa, where I can loosen the knots of the lives I've tangled,
Bb Asus2 Dm
I brought a Law to my people that no one else wanted to take,
Bb C
Home's to be chosen and equal with the lots on the outside,
Bb Asus2 Dm
I drew a Line with my people that they swore they'd never break,
Bb C
Home's where I share myself and I don't have to hide.
Bb Asus2 Dm
I caught my people worshipping and made them fear the quake,
Bb C
Home's where the rain won't drown, and the gas won't leave me strangled,
Bb Asus2 Dm
We thought they could take it and that was no mistake

Chorus 2
Ehye usher Eyhe Dm Am Bb A7

Dm Am
And so you have done it through ages and 'til this day,
Bb Gm A7
Kept my five books like there's no other way

Dm Am
And through stages and through sages, through ravages and pogromages,
Bb Gm A7
by sealing it for no leakages, you survived the suffering in the cages,

Dm Am
And the suffering came from the pages, you put around your minds to see,
Bb Gm A7
My words memorized and idolized like that is all there is to be

Dm Am
and you've suffered at the hands of the nations, jealous because of your separation,
Bb Gm A7
The Goyim have been sayin and praying, to shine and share your light with them

Dm Am
And I will stand face to face with Him, again as a brother and as a friend,
Bb Gm A7
But down I fell through the crack! to just see his back and turn against Hashem

Dm Am
When All there is to be is free, it's not walking around with a Guide to see,
Bb A7
It's letting everyone Be cause that's what the Bush said to me -

Chorus 3
Ehye Usher Ehye

All Dm>>
What a knowledge, what a tree, what a good 'n bad book to be,
All Am>>
What a binding, what a shackles, what a schlepping around for sheckles,
All Bb>>
What an amazing fulfillment of service, oh my people, we deserve this
All A7>>
What an advancement of civilization, Israel and Every Nation

All Dm>>
What a book, what a deed, what a task - they asked and we agreed,
All Am >>
What a challenge, what a chance, what a continual endurance.
All Bb>>
What a joy, what a nachas, what a pain in the tuchas,
A7>>
What a double-edged sword that kept us separated from others,

Dm Am
That place I call home has doors open to neighbors,
C A7
And when they come close, we don't have to hide,
Dm Am
Nor put the fence around us, nor draw the line for Shabbos,
Bb A7
Now I untie the lie that's divine, my people that I drew, around me and you

Dm Gm
So tell me now, will we go this way forever,
C Gm Dm
You with my old way and me now with the Nu,
Dm Bb
Cause if that is so, I'll keep my heart's hope strong and true
Gm A7
You'll keep up with no strings attached to the line that I just undrew,

C Bb
Based on the old one, that I brought you for Service that you did do,
C Bb
And now my people your new service begins anew in you - a Nu you -
