Pesach: Really Feel

VERSE 1
The ground is cold, the sky is black.
You lift the bricks, you break your back.
No food to eat, the day drags on.
You work until the light is gone.
No one to tuck you in at night.
No one to say you'll be all right.
No Shabbos and no time to pray.
Just bricks and pain day after day.

CHORUS
Close your eyes and feel it now.
Taste the tears, remember how.
Feel the chains, then feel the free.
That's what Hashem did for me.
Don't just say what you've been told.
Feel it deep inside your soul.
When you thank Him, make it real.
Don't just know it, really feel.

VERSE 2
Now hold the matzah, so flat, so light.
Your family ran into the night.
They had no time to let it rise.
Hashem said run, no last goodbyes.
Now taste the bitter, feel the sting.
Two hundred years of suffering.
The salt you taste is made of tears.
They cried to Hashem all those years.

CHORUS
Close your eyes and feel it now.
Taste the tears, remember how.
Feel the chains, then feel the free.
That's what Hashem did for me.
Don't just say what you've been told.
Feel it deep inside your soul.
When you thank Him, make it real.
Don't just know it, really feel.

VERSE 3
Think of everything He's done.
Not just a few, no, every one.
He broke the chains, He set you free.
He split the sea for you and me.
He gave the Torah from above.
And showed you what it means to love.
Just one of those fills up your heart.
He gave them all right from the start.

CHORUS
Close your eyes and feel it now.
Taste the tears, remember how.
Feel the chains, then feel the free.
That's what Hashem did for me.
Don't just say what you've been told.
Feel it deep inside your soul.
When you thank Him, make it real.
Don't just know it, really feel.

BRIDGE
So when you're sitting at the meal.
And wonder what you're supposed to feel.
Maybe you've heard this all before.
You think, I know this, what's it for.
Just close your eyes, go back to where.
The ground was cold, you had no prayer.
Without Him, you'd have bricks to lay.
But He took all of that away.

CHORUS
Close your eyes and feel it now.
Taste the tears, remember how.
Feel the chains, then feel the free.
That's what Hashem did for me.
Don't just say what you've been told.
Feel it deep inside your soul.
When you thank Him, make it real.
Don't just know it, really feel.
