by Leslie BunderI'm Jewish and proud of it Proud of my culture, people and heritage It's time to promote A sense of positive Know who you ought to be Know where you should be in society
Things in life may get you down
Like anti-semitism all around But don't worry, don't fear Stand strong and shake the ground Take a Yiddish trip in life And rediscover that we are United together as a people of true No internal divide, just a force with you Jewish people sharing a common bond To bring global harmony with everyone
Now, some may say I'm an idealist
But I'm a realist in what I hope Jewish people where ever you may be From Ethiopia to the USA They are brothers and sisters of history All sharing the same family Get together and unite as one Young Jews express yourselves Reassert your commitments Don't give up on your traditions Stories told by your grandparents Pass onto the next generation
Some may try and bring us down
Kick us out of existence But you know, we have strength To defend through the system No more need to be afraid Speaking your mind ain't no disgrace Voicing your opinions, never be silent Words of wisdom, thoughts of old Like our forefathers use to hold Try them now, see reactions Make a better world Through positive Jewish action
