Leah’s Song – And I will Pray (Lenny Solomon)

I’m sitting here sadly, what can I do?
I’m supposed to marry Esau, a fate not for me or you
He’s rejected Tradition he’s left the Jewish Way
I don’t want a life with him, there must be another way

I will cry out to Hashem ask him to help me out
I will cry out to Hashem it will leave no doubt
I will cry out to Hashem I know that He can come through

And I will pray to redirect the verdict
And I will pray to change the status quo
The powers within me – I know that He can see, And I will pray

I’m sitting here gladly, but what should I do
I’m about to give birth, this will be my seventh boy
This will mean my sister Rachel, will only have one tribe
Less than all the others, don’t want to hurt her pride

I will cry out to Hashem ask him to help me out
I will cry out to Hashem it will leave no doubt
I will cry out to Hashem I know that He can come through

And I will pray to redirect the verdict
And I will pray to change the status quo
The powers within me – I know that He can see, And I will pray

There’s trouble for our people everywhere we go
We need to use our power to help correct the flow
Let’s learn from mother Leah – we can change it all
Let’s open up our hearts and let’s pray

And we must pray to redirect the verdict
And we must pray to change the status quo
The powers in all of us – in God we must have trust
And we will pray

The powers in all of us – in God we must have trust
And we will pray
