THE CHAIN
Think of your life as a continuous chain
From Abraham to Sinai after Egypt's pain
Think of Joshua who conquered our land
Of King David who ruled it with strong hand
Think of the Pogroms and the Camps of Death
And thank G-d for your Life with every breath
Think of the values this chain has brought
To a world so confused and sadly overwrought
Think of this chain with people so few
People of a Book of which no one knew
Know you’re a link and a vital one too
A part of the history of Eli the Jew
Be proud of this Eli, be on guard and stand tall
Do not sever the chain, do not let yourself fall
Through you comes the Future, you will decide
To forget or to honour ancestors who have died
Choose well and you’ll live through those that you sire
Of blessing their father they will never tire
Fight the fight, see your worth, you’re a Champion, I know
So the Chain that you guard will forever glow.
