_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Am] With _
_ _ [F] the
[G] rising [C] _
sun [F] on her _ wedding day, [C] she raised her _ eyes [F] to the heavens, _ [G] _ [F] _
_ and she [G] thanked _ [Am] _
Hashem
[F] for the man [C] of truth _ _ [F] with [C] whom [F] she would build [C] the nation.
_ [G] _ _
_ [F] But with [G] _ [C] nightfall came
_ [F] _ _ _ destiny betrayed, _ [C] the veil _ _ _ _ [F] concealing _ another. _ _
_ Yet a [G] _ [Am] sister's shame, [F] not her shattered [G] _ _
dream,
[F] took hold of her _ _ heart [Am] and her senses. _ _ _
Mama Ruchel cry for [G] us again, won't you shed a tear

_ _ [F] In a [G] _ [C] roadside grave, [Am] she was laid to [C] rest, in _ _ _ [Em] solitude
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] forever.
[F] _
_ But her [G] voice [Am] gave hope [F] to the _ [C] broken _ hearts of her daughters [F] and [Dm] sons bound [G] [C] for exile.
[G] _ _
When [F] her _ [G] _ [C] plaintive cry [F] gained _ divine _ consent, [C] a _ challenge _ [Em]
to [F] her maker,
her mother, her father, her mother, can the _ [G] mercy [Am] _
of [F] mere flesh [G] and _ blood [F] run deeper than _ _ yours?
[Am] Our creator. _ _ _

_ [F] Now your [G] voice [C] is still _ [Am] as you heed _ [G] the [C]
call of _ _ [Em] Neniko _ Eleich,
[F] Mi Bechi. _ _ _
_ It's our _ [G] _ [Am] father's will, _ [F] he who made [C] us _ all, dare [Dm] we [C] ask [F] of you [Dm]
to _ [G] defy him. _ _
_ [F] Yet the [G] frightened _ [C] _
child, [Am] numb from pain [F] and grief, _ _ [C] _ remains _ _ forlorn [F] and uncertain,
_ [G] _ [F] _
_ clinging [G] to [Am] the faith [F] that it can't [G] be _ _ _ [F] heard as it cries _ _ out _ to [Am] its _ mother.
