Lyrics
Oh, my Father
Ancient, hallowed, lonely, disappointed Father
Rejected ruler of the universe
Handsome, jealous lord and lover
Angry, wrinkled, old majesty
I want to pray
I want to say Kaddish
My own Kaddish
Listen, Almighty, with all your might
There may just be no one to say it after me
Do I have your attention, Majestic Father?
Is my end a minute away?
An hour?
Is there even time to ask the question?
It could be here while we are singing that we're to be
Halted once for all, cut off in the act of praising you
But while I have breath, however briefly, I will sing this final
Kaddish for you, for me, for all
These I love here in this sacred house
I want to pray
And time is short
Time to begin our gallant Yit Gadol
Magnified...
And sanctified...
Be the great name...
Amen

Did you hear that, Father?
|He| ืฉืืื ืืืจืื
May abundant peace descend on us
Amen
Great God, surely you who make peace on high, who manipulate clumsy
Galaxies, you who juggle a space
Full of suns, bend light, spin moons
Surely you can handily supply a touch of
Order here below on this one dazed speck
And let us say again...
Amen
