מילות השיר:
Rachel knew her man was strong
Cutting chopping all day long
But he was turning forty he couldn’t read
He’d trim your tree make a dime
Married a woman so divine
And she’d be the one change history
Chase your dreams don’t wait for me
A man must face his destiny
And I can’t wait to see
Grab each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line it’ll work out fine
Greatest sage that ever lived
Had a tough time as a kid
You see he was turning forty he couldn’t read
They stood together like a poem
By the river near their home
Cuz what you see is meant to be
He saw soft water rocking stone
Maybe Torah reach my bones
And I change destiny
I’ll grab each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line it’ll work out fine
Akiva
A winters day a summers night
Rachel sat by candlelight
She could wait forever graciously
Came back to town a little gray
A thousand students in his way
She was in the back so patiently
He held a crown for all to see
I can never teach what she taught me
And I learned bravery
I grabbed each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line it’ll work out fine
Chase your dreams don’t wait for me
A man must face his destiny
And I can’t wait to see
Grab each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line it’ll work out fine
Akiva
