Lyrics:
Let me tell you a story from long ago
when there was a villain who roamed our world.
Bothered by our DNA hate the fact we wouldn’t go away,
mastermind he thought he would be for the extinction of our belief
Planned it up gallows up, set a date to go wrap it up,
thought the stars were aligned for him, he lets out an evil grin
king gets drunk queen is done, for a new queen the search begun,
Esther won for her beauty stunned, but this was planned from all along
Storms don’t slow us down, The Lord is our own wings,
the eagle flies time, and splits the night.
When everything is wrong, just flip it upside down.
,לא נשתחווה, לא נשתחווה, כמרדכי כמרדכי
. רק נשתחווה, להשם אחד כמרדכי, כמו מרדכי
It seems like its natural well is there a miracle over and over don’t mean it ain’t supernatural
L’Chaim we pour to the poor we give. In the present we read, let’s not forget
in the moment let’s hear what the kid said to Mordechai not to fear.
So attention Haman you built Gallows to hangman,
V’nahapochu you signed the shoe and all the plans turned on you
Esther was more than you self-sacrifice for her fellow jews,
you followed her till you were doomed, too bad the script was not made by you.
Storms don’t slow us down, The Lord is our own wings,
the eagle flies time, and splits the night.
When everything is wrong, just flip it upside down.
,לא נשתחווה, לא נשתחווה, כמרדכי כמרדכי
. רק נשתחווה, להשם אחד כמרדכי, כמו מרדכי
Nothing can stop our faith!
Nothing can slow us down,
Amalek never saw it coming, cuz the tables just flipped around! Our light can’t go out!
VINIHAPICHU!
No need to fear, cause gods still with us after all these years- yeah we went through darkness, but still lit the way- and it just made us stronger, now were here to stay!
So as we dance through the valley of life, just know one thing, we will fight to spread God’s light. No matter how big their knives, no matter how big their guns, we will keep on dancing, cause Hashem is one!
,לא נשתחווה, לא נשתחווה, כמרדכי כמרדכי
. רק נשתחווה, להשם אחד כמרדכי, כמו מרדכי

THIS is what all schools and Yeshivos should be doing!! We must allow EVERY single student the opportunity to shine. Most students do not shine in learning. Every shool and Yeshiva must find out how each of their students can shine, and then provide them with opportunities to do just that! Fantastic work JETS!!
