Jewish Fridays - (excerpts from "Part of Me", performed by En Vogue)

Rain. Such a simple thing
Every drop, a different stop...but it all comes from the same
G-d is the cloud....and we are the rain;
That's why I sometimes feel...that somehow we are the same....

Whenever I lay my head to sleep
...there's a strong thought that keeps haunting my mind...
Careless..whispers of a nation;
That Somehow was caught trapped in the dark and nowhere to go...
I know my thoughts are telling me:

Gotta be a part of me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life has no guarantees
That you'll keep what you have, even though you're blessed with them...
That's why I'm feeling
...some fear for the world...
With all the grief - and misery - how much real time is there?

The Sooner I Take More Responsibilities...
...I can truly say, I am grateful for my world...
The Irony - of trying to do the right thing;
Is whatever you do, some will undo - and sometimes destroy

And there's someone still left in darkness
(and you say,)
"Gotta Be A Part of Me"
