- Sometimes I have lay down at night
My head can't stop spinning
Thinking of mistakes I've made
Why can't I stop sinning
All I want to do is change
My life I want to rearrange
But my efforts always seemed to wilt
Coz I was stuck in quicksand filled with my guilt
We all need to know that it's okay
What happened yesterday
Shouldn't stand in your way
The only way you can be free
To change your destiny
Don't be chained down by your history
The one-day
That matters
Is today
You can't change
What happened
Yesterday
This week we learn
The tale of Saddam
It was a city of corruption
A hedonistic town
full of immorality
Kindness looked down upon
Lacking sensibility
This is the place
Lot went astray - Astray
But as a nephew of Avram
God sent angels to save the day - the day
All I want to do is change
My life I want to rearrange
But my efforts always seemed to wilt
Coz I was stuck in quicksand filled with my guilt
We all need to know that it's okay
What happened yesterday
Shouldn't stand in your way
The only way you can be free
To change your destiny
Don't be chained down by your history
The one-day
That matters
Is today
You can't change
What happened
Yesterday
Thanks to Hasham lot was freed
From his life full of greed
Sedom burnt to the ground
He could turn his life around
But although he was saved
he lived depressed in a cave
It is no way to live
If yourself you can't forgive
The one-day
That matters
Is today
You can't change
What happened
Yesterday
We all need to know that it's okay
What happened yesterday
Shouldn't stand in your way
The only way you can be free
To change your destiny
Don't be chained down by your history
”We remember that in a wholesome state before the sin, Adam was commanded not to eat meat. Therefore we know that in the time to come, after the world is repaired, the heavens and earth will be revitalized, the nature of man and the beast will change to the majestic, then we will return to supreme moral sensitivity and accordingly it will be forbidden to kill an animal to eat their flesh.” (Rav Abraham Isaac Kook).
“And I will make a covenant for them on that day with the beasts of the field and with the fowl of the sky and the creeping things of the earth; and the bow, the sword, and war I will break off the earth, and I will let them lie down safely.” (Hosea 2, 20)
“And a wolf shall live with a lamb, and a leopard shall lie with a kid; and a calf and a lion cub and a fatling [shall lie] together, and a small child shall lead them. And a cow and a bear shall graze together, their children shall lie; and a lion, like cattle, shall eat straw. And an infant shall play over the hole of an old snake and over the eyeball of an adder, a weaned child shall stretch forth his hand. They shall neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mount, for the land shall be full of knowledge of the Lord as water covers the sea bed" (Isaiah 11, 6-9).
Genesis- vegetation is man’s nourishment. The vision of the end of days- vegetation is man’s nourishment. One who is focused on wholesome worship of God will strive for high ideals.
