This song was composed in memory of Gabi & Rivki Holtzberg who were cruelly murdered at their Mumbai Chabad House.
Lyrics:
She closed her eyes
He wiped her tears
He said Shema
It calmed his fears
He held her hand
Said it’d be alright
Knowing well they both could lose their life
And as my world watched it on the screen
We hoped and prayed and prayed again
That it would be a silent dream
But the dawn ushered in an unfamiliar light
The worst was heard confirmed
Now I cry to you, I lean on you,
my fellow Jew I ask of you
Chorus:
Tell me how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have fallen from our life
And how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have flown away at night
3500 siblings asking why
An orphan’s forced to cry
Mommy, Totty hold my hand
One day I pray you’ll understand
The cowardly lion is not the king of the land.
But the question remains, I ask
Chorus:
Tell me how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have fallen from our life
And how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have flown away at night
Don’t judge me when I mourn
Today it’s me who’s torn
Don’t look at me
My tears are falling fast
They say it’s all a blessing in disguise
I can’t differentiate the lies from truth
What’s a mind to do
We were the super heros of the night
We would illuminate the sky
They took away the torch but not your flame
What’s my mind to do
I will never forget you
I will light the sky from here to Mumbai
And nothing will ever look the same
Chorus:
Tell me how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have fallen from our life
And how do we say goodbye
to the angels that have flown away at night
Chassidim Never say goodbye
We want Moshiach Now
