“Modeh Ani” Ariel Adar & Yehuda Kirschenbaum | Mesivta Netzach Hatorah

Hey, everyone, it’s Yehuda Kirschenbaum. Ariel and I have been working on this song for a little while now and we can’t wait to share it with you. When people ask what the message of this song is, it’s hard to give a straight answer. That’s because we believe music shouldn’t have a direct message. When we write our music, it’s meant to talk to each person in a different way. A lyric can mean one thing to someone and can mean the opposite of another. In this song, Modeh Ani, we speak about one’s closeness to God and how we are all trying to connect because, ultimately, we know that is what’s best for us. In a way, this could be your Modeh Ani. We hope you interpret the song the way it befits you and most of all, we hope you enjoy!

Lyrics

Thoughts deep within
Building up inside
Someone please lead me
Someone please raise me

My life is a painting
Only I can draw
Little do I realize
When will I realize

That it’s not me
That’s it’s from up above
Guiding me through life
Through wind and through storm

He lifts me up with pride
Shows me his love
I can’t get enough of Him
He’s smiling it’s so warm

He cares for me
And He cares for you
He thinks of me each and every day
He thinks of you and that’s why we all say
Modeh Ani Lifanecha

That feeling, that love
So close, so dear
Don’t want it to be fleeting
Oh I never want it leaving

The closeness I felt
I never want it to fade
Just take a minute
All it takes is a minute

That it’s not me
That’s it’s from up above
Guiding me through life
Through wind and through storm

He lifts me up with pride
Shows me His love
I can’t get enough of Him
He’s smiling it’s so warm

He cares for me
And He cares for you
He thinks of me each and every day
He thinks of you and that’s why we all say
Modeh Ani Lifanecha

I think to myself
How far I’ve come
The same man in the mirror
Yet my reflection has changed

Still got a long way to go
But don’t we all
Still trying to realize
Now I think I realize

He cares for me
And He cares for you
He thinks of me each and every day
He thinks of you and that’s why we all say
Modeh Ani Lifanecha Melech Chai Vikayom

Modeh Ani Lifanecha…
