Ani auni vevyone. hashem yashav li. ezrati, umafalti, atau.
As for me, i am poor and destitute.
Hashem my g-d will think about me. my help, my rescuer, you are.
My word is like a hammer like a shattering rock,
Crack through your heart and take the evil apart
From the end of the earth unto you i call,
Time and again i fall, back to you i crawl
You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength in the face of the enemy
Enemy, enemy lines i find i let myself get tied up too many times
You can't have my heart i'm taking back what's mine
I know it lie just smoke in your eye
And you saved my soul from the other side
When faint grows my heart to a rock
That too hard for me to climb alone lead me
For you have been a refuge
With you i smash a troop and with my g-d i leap over a wall
May the king answer you on the day that you call
Stand tall, battle yawl, the clouds crawl low, all stalled,
Heavens lay draped over new york like a prayer shawl,
The holy one enthroned upon the praises of israel
Pathways of my heart clogged like a traffic jam
From the start, i want to take the blockage apart
