Lyrics by Ben R.:
Tekiyah… Shvarim Truah
Tekiyah… Shvarim Truah (shofar sounds)
A new year rising
A new beginning
Lift your head up
Turn yourself ’round
The world is spinning
Feel the magic
Of a new day
Open your heart
To a fresh start
Send your fears away
You’ve made mistakes
You feel it
You got what it takes
Believe it
Any wrong can be made right
Just forgive, you need not fight
Shana Tova Umetuka (A sweet and happy New Year)
It’s Rosh Hashanah
Shanana nana, Tova
Ume Ume Tuka
Dip your apple in the honey
It’s Rosh Hashanah
So many new hopes
Waiting to find you
Open your eyes
The dreams you prize
Are all around you
The smiles are hiding
No use in guessing
Make up your mind
Go out and find
Life’s simple blessings
This is your time
You feel it
How sweet it is
Believe it
Any wrong can be made right
Just forgive, you need not fight
Shana Tova Umetuka
It’s Rosh Hashanah
Shanana nana, Tova
Ume Ume Tuka
Dip your apple in the honey
On Rosh Hashanah
Shanana nana, Tova
Ume Ume Tuka
Hear the sounds of jubilation
This Rosh Hashanah
Yehi Ratzon She-niye Le (May we be…)
Rosh, Lo Zanav (…a head, not a tail)
Sweeten life for those around us
With joy and love
Avinu Malkeinu
Chanenu V’anenu
Hear our prayer ‘O Lord this hour
Inscribe us in the Book of Life!
Aneinu, Aneinu (answer us)
Aneinu, Aneinu
Aneinu, Aneinu
Aneinu, Shana Tova!
Shanana nana, Tova
Ume Ume Tuka
Dip your apple in the honey
On Rosh Hashanah
Shanana nana, Tova
Ume Ume Tuka
Hear the sounds of jubilation
It’s Rosh Hashanah
Sh’echiyanu | Give us life Lord
v’kiyimanu | And sustain us
v’higiyanu | Oh deliver us | To salvation
Sh’echiyanu | Give us life Lord
v’kiyimanu | And sustain us
v’higiyanu | Oh deliver us | To salvation
In this New Year
On Rosh Hashanah
Make your loved ones smile
This Rosh Hashanah
Open your hearts to one another
This Rosh Hashanah
And begin life anew
This Rosh Hashanah!
