The school bell gives a ring
At the end of a long day
Mottel takes his bag
and heads off on his way.

He listened well in school
and goes home to have fun,
successful time in class,
Yet something still seems wrong.

From the corner of his eye
he noticed Levi on the side
Sefer hamitzvos in his hand
He needs to understand.

Levi is it possible
that all I lack is this small key,
to change my whole approach in life,
and be all I can be.

CHORUS:
“The Rebbe’s way, the Rebbe’s path
I’m guided by our special tasks
I’ll follow them and never stray
The Rebbe paves the way.”

בדרכיו—instructions clear
הורָנו so I’ll hold them dear
we own a treasure that’s so vast
the Rebbe’s golden path

Takanos that I’ll keep,
no matter where or when
the Rebbe’s call I’ll heed
I’ll never stray or bend.

I’ll love my fellow Jew,
teach him Torah too,
Reaching every soul
And Fulfill the Rebbe’s goal.

I won’t miss my daily mitzvah,
I will Daven with Kavanah,
I will be nice to my friends,
With joy I’ll serve Hashem.

My Rebbe I will watch and see
To learn what he expects of me
From this golus to break free
And be all I can be

CHORUS:
The Rebbe’s way, the Rebbe’s path
We’re guided by our special tasks
we’ll follow them and never stray
The Rebbe paves the way.

בדרכיו, instructions clear
הורָנו, so we’ll hold them dear
נצח סלה ועד—
it’s stronger every year.

T.T.T.O. Achas Sha’alti (MBD)

In line they stand Tzetl in hand
Each one so different Backgrounds diverse
From corners four They come through this door
Each one unique To the rebbe they speak

CHOURS:
The rebbe hears For each one he cares
All of their feelings he equally shares
With a feeling of joy from there they depart
For someone is hearing there heart

A land so bizarre From his homeland far
So very different Its customs are
A different Jew, Which he never knew
To the shliach it’s clear That’s what I’ll do

CHOURS:
The rebbe hears For each one he cares
All of their feelings he equally shares
With a feeling of joy from there they depart
For someone is hearing there heart

Now that’s what I’ll do Help every Jew
Regardless of what of where or of who
Cause that’s who I am The Rebbe’s man
“Far Yenem” I’ll do all I can.

T.T.T.O. haben yakir – dveykus

To a small town he does arrive
there to make yiddishkeit thrive
a lifelong dream has now become real
his emotions are hard to conceal

davening came with ease
learning too was such a breeze
but his Shlichus felt just out of reach
an obstacle so hard to breach

CHORUS:
But Rebbe I know the need
with your connection I know I will succeed
with this in mind I can do all at hand
regardless of where I may stand

We have a koach so strong
for to the Rebbe we do belong
with a chayus we will go ou tof ourselves without a doubt

So much to do and achieve
to accomplish it all is hard to believe
but putting yourself off to the side
the limit now reaches the sky

CHORUS:
Oy Rebbe I know the need
with your connection I know I will succeed
with this in mind I can do all at hand
regardless of where I may stand

We have a koach so strong
for to the Rebbe we do belong
with a chayus we will go out of ourselves without a doubt

T.T.T.O. Vizakeini (Baruch Levine)

The last day has arrived
As camp comes to a close
In the A-Frame they do sit
The screen aglow

He sees the rebbe come to daven
Coins to children he does give
He lets out a sigh
This life how can I live

Oy rebbe it’s unfair
My parents stood right there
Now, a generation later,
Is it not part of my share?!

How can I express my pain?
Oh, I simply can’t explain
They were in your holy presence
It’s just not the same x2

In the corner of his eye
He sees his counselor stands
“My feelings does he share?
Will he understand?”

“My dear counselor do you know
How hard this is for me to do?”
His counselor looks at him
“I’m here in this with you!”

Oy rebbe it’s unfair
Our parents stood right there
Now, a generation later,
Is it not part of our share?!

How can we express our pain?
In this Galus we can’t remain
We just want to see our Rebbe
Vehu Yigaleinu, Amein x2

T.T.T.O. My Dear Rebbi (Yitzy Waldner)

Sitting in my bedroom, with a pen-in-hand
A letter to the Rebbe I do write
“Dear Rebbe please explain, I do not understand
Does it really matter-that I wrote tonight

I’m not in a time of trouble, nor a time-of-need
Yet to you, this letter will be sent
I am but a child, from the millions you-receive
It seems my letter, would be irrelevant”

CHORUS
For the Rosh Bnei Yisrael, our heart-and-mind
There is nothing insignificant, or outshined
Ha’Mechakeh L’Besuros Tovos
He is waiting to-hear what’s new with me

For the Rosh Bnei Yisrael, the Roeh Ne’eman
It’s not my joy, but our joy, for we are one
Ha’Mechakeh L’Besuros Tovos
To him there’s nothing more-precious than me

Living with this mindset, my value in-your-eyes
Is the force and drive, in all I do
Beneath-an intimate connection, a deep commitment-lies

You are relying on me to carry through
I feel your anticipation, to hear from-me-once-more
With this I know, you’re with me all along
An open connection, I have never felt-before
I can lift you up, through our bond so strong

CHORUS
For the Rosh Bnei Yisrael, our heart-and-mind
There is nothing insignificant, or outshined
Ha’Mechakeh L’Besuros Tovos
He is waiting to-hear what’s new with me

For the Rosh Bnei Yisrael, the Roeh Ne’eman
It’s not my joy, but our joy, for we are one
Ha’Mechakeh L’Besuros Tovos
To him there’s nothing more-precious than me

TEAM LICHIYOS
t.t.t.o. rochok (tzlil v’zemer boys choir)

The question stays the same
It doesn’t let him sleep
This darkness we are in is so deep
My life support I cannot hear or see
My Rebbe where can he be

Since the very start
No matter how they fared
The yidden had a leader who loved and cared
He would pass it on, a new נשיא declared
But now we are alone it does appear

Chorus:
ahey..
My Rebbe I may not hear
But to us he made it clear
I live with you in every single way
I’m the head and you’re the feet
Together, moshiach we’ll greet
To get it done, your avodah is what we need

I’m here more than before
In Chassidim is where I’ll be
When you live the way i’d like to see
The kochos I give to you
I’m revealed in what you do
מה זרעו בחיים אף הוא
(end chorus)

I understand my mission
I now have just one vision
The Rebbe should live with and through me
By doing what he says carefully
Then the Rebbe I can truly see

Repeat chorus:
ahey..
my Rebbe I may not hear..

T.T.T.O. Zechor Bris – Motty Steinmetz

A prince in the palace
he spends day and night,
his father is always in sight.

Unrest in the kingdom
The prince sent away
Banished, himself he must stay.

Despite the great distance, he cannot forget
Of the time with his father he spent.
Each moment so precious,
So cherished so dear
How he longs to be again there.

Father oh Father, a cry of demand
Why, from the palace I’m banned
Please bring me back
To be together once more
This is all I ask for.

———————————

As a prince in the palace
we spent day and night,
Our Rebbe was always in sight.

But now all has changed,
With a terrible decree,
Our Rebbe, we no longer see.

Chorus:
In spite of the darkness, we will not forget
Of the time with the Rebbe we spent.
Each moment so precious,
So cherished so dear
How we long to be again there.

Tatteh Oy Tatteh, a cry of demand
Why this Golus was planned
Please bring us back
To be together once more
This is all we ask for.

Go back: In spite of the darkness… X3
