אקורדים לשיר שמע ישראל – יעקב שוואקי

                                
He raised his hand to wave goodbye
                           
Saw the pain in mother's eyes
                                     
Who left her little precious boy of four
                         
In a citadel of ashen stone
                                  
That preached a faith unlike his own
                                      
Perhaps he just may yet survive this war
                                
In the shadows stood a man in black
                                     
My child he said, you must not look back
                                          
Yet one image lingered, the tears on her face
                                       
nd mother's words from their last embrace
ridge:                   
"Shema, Shema Israel"
                                  
Know that there is but one od above
                                  
When you feel pain, when you rejoice
                                 
Know how he longs to hear your voice
                        
"Hashem Helokenu Hashem had"
