Gate of Mercy for the Year of Mercy
Rivka from the Jerusalem kehilla sent us the song of Meir Bannai, “Gate of Mercy” on the occasion of the beginning of the Year of Mercy.
Watch a performance of the song here
Gate of Mercy (Meir Bannai)
I wander in the old town
Noise comes from every corner
I already know
Already know my way
On the way to the Gate of Mercy.
I do not look around
I do not listen
A dreamer I am
And always was
I already know
Already know my way
On the way to the Gate of Mercy.
Live once only once
There is meaning no meaning
With strength without strength
Gate of Mercy.
Come with me
Come out of fear
For you, you too are a part
Of the Gate of Mercy.
The signs above the shops
Look out on the roads
In my heart there is a shout and it is loud
Show me the Gate of Mercy
