The Big 6

Words and Music by Lenny Solomon

 

Got here in 96 in July and a beautiful summer it was.

Got into a cab and with a little broken Hebrew,

I conveyed my destination to the driver.

He said congratulations for making the move,

But now I have a question for you.

Why did you come? Why did you come?

I looked at him and said.

 

Chorus:

The Big 6! I want to witness,

The ingathering of the exiles.

The Big 6!  I want to see Elijah the Prophet

proclaim the next Mashiach.

I want to see the Red Heifer,

and the Third Holy Temple,

And the resurrection of the dead,

The Big 6 That’s why I came.

The Big 6 That’s why I came back to my land.

 

I felt it in my gut. I wanted to be walking the land.

Did not want to be like Mike,

I wanted to be like Abraham.

And when people stopped me on the street

And said they had a question for me.

Why did I come?  Why did I come?

I looked at them and said.  Chorus…

 

We’re waiting for you to make a plan,

Every second the world is changing.

Pack your things and get yourself going,

So many things you could be doing.

And when people stop you on the street,

and they say they have a question for you.

Why did you come?  Why did you come?

You can look at them and say.

 

The Big 6!

I want to witness the ingathering of the exiles.

The Big 6!  I want to see Elijah the Prophet

proclaim the next Mashiach.

I want to see the Red Heifer

and the Third Holy Temple,

And the resurrection of the dead

The Big 6 That’s why I came.

The Big 6 That’s why I came back to my land.

To my land,
