7 Angels - Rachael Sage, Peter Himmelman

In a sea of all the faces that I have ever seen

In a crowd of all the strangers whose shoulders I have touched

In an ocean of unfathomable loss and need

I see seven small coffins and it’s just too much

I’m a mother with my children only steps away

I’m a daughter dreaming peacefully of games to play

I’m a candle in the window flickering with hope

I’m an endless well of grief too deep to ever cope

Veil the meaning of all I’ve ever known

Veil the future of every seed I’ve sown

Sail me somewhere no butterfly has flown

Seven little angels singing «Sim Shalom»

I’m the middle of the night awake with fiery blaze

I’m the restless souls of ancestors unhinged with rage

I’m a listening ear but these are just too many names

Seven little angels caught in fate’s cruel cage

Veil the meaning of all I’ve ever known

Veil the future of every seed I’ve sown

Sail me somewhere no butterfly has flown

Seven little angels singing «Sim Shalom»

Tovah u’vrachah

Chayn vachesed v’rachamim v’rachamim

Aleynu v’al chol Yisrael

Seven little secrets life will never tell

I’m a mother with my children only steps away

I’m a daughter dreaming peacefully of games to play

I’m a candle in the window flickering with love

I’m an endless well of grief too deep to rise above

Veil the meaning of all I’ve ever known

Veil the future of every seed I’ve sown

Sail me somewhere no butterfly has flown

Seven little angels singing «Sim Shalom»

Tovah u’vrachah

Chayn vachesed v’rachamim v’rachamim

Aleynu v’al chol Yisrael

Seven little secrets life will never tell

Aleynu v’al chol everyone

Seven little pairs of shoes that could not run
