Two Trees Two trees standing side by side Each one just about the same size One had branches growing everywhere The other was kind of empty, and its trunk was bare As people passed by and looked up at the trees The one trees’s leaves were blowing in the breeze The other tree stood, empty and alone Without many branches it could call its own And people would say “Look up at those two trees, One is so empty, but the other’s filled with leaves” Then one day a big wind came and blew And one of the trees just uprooted and flew Now there’s one tree that people pass and see and everyone says, “Wow look at that big tree” So the one tree stands alone and filled with pride It knew all along it has nothing to hide So what its trunk is empty and its branches are bare It didn’t go flying in that strong gust of air. It’s not what’s on the outside that gives a tree its might its strength comes from a place that is out of our sight It’s not what’s on the outside that gives a tree its might its strength comes from a place that is out of our sight So don’t judge a tree by what you can see Don’t judge a tree by what you can see Don’t judge a tree by what you can see And I won’t judge you please don’t judge me 2 3.

Shaish Mitzvos TaMidios Hashem is always beside me He is with me all the time The ֵשש ִמצות ָתּ ִמ ִידיוֹת Help me to keep Him on my mind He took us from Mitzrayim and placed in our hands His Holy Torah, so we could understand He is our Creator, He is in control Of everything that’s new and everything that’s old Only Hashem can decide What will happen, we’ve got to realize Not to trust or depend On anything but Hashem Hashem is One, He is every where we go He created everything and He did this alone According to His plan, everything proceeds He's the One in charge, and helps with all our needs Our love for Hashem gets stronger everyday As we thank him for kindness that He sends our way The wonders He created are everywhere we go If we stop and and take a look, our love will surely grow Hashem knows every thing we do We can’t hide, you know it’s true Our ' יְ רַאת הneeds to be so strong To keep us far, from doing wrong.

But That’s Wrong You want so much to fit in with the kids in your school You need to be popular so you try to act cool and even when they do things that shouldn’t be done You go and do them anyway to be like everyone But that’s wrong You’ve got to be strong Just do what’s right Don’t follow along When your friends want to do something, which you know isn’t right, Don’t just go along, but stand up strong with all your might And tell them what their planning, is not the thing to do It’s possible they’ll listen and the credit goes to you But that’s wrong You’ve got to be strong Just do what’s right Don’t follow along Stand up for the Emes, Don’t let yourself be swayed Do not be afraid Just do the right thing, Don’t let yourself be swayed Do not be afraid 5 7. Ehchad HaMarbeh If you do a lot or you do just a little It doesn’t really matter it’s not a big deal The effort that you put in the kavana in your heart these things are are the most important part You may not accomplish what some other people can you may not win but don’t feel bad Do your very best and try real hard have a smile on your face be proud of who you are אחד המרבה ואחד הממעיט וב בד שיכוין בו שמים Everyone is different no one is the same not in their body and not in their brain 6 Give it all you got and do what you can this is all that Hashem demands אחד המרבה ואחד הממעיט ובלבד שיכוין לבו לשמים You’ve got your purpose and I’ve got mine don’t put it off till another time לפום צרא אגרא the effort is the key to be everything You were meant to be You’ve got your purpose and I’ve got mine don’t put it off till another time לפום צרא אגרא the effort is the key to be everything You were meant to be אחד המרבה ואחד הממעיט ובלבד שיכוין לבו לשמים 10. If Only I was Smart Like Shmuel If only I was smart like Shmuel and tall like Avraham and good in sports like Aharon Tzvi and rich like Yonason If only I was thin like Sarah and had the clothes that Rachel wears With Esther’s nose so straight and fine and Miriam’s long golden hair Then I would be so happy, my life would be so great but I am stuck with what I’ve got these things I really hate Why are others lucky, when it seems that I’ve been cursed everyone has the best things, but I’m stuck with the worst It’s not what you think my friend, you’ve got it all wrong you need a change of heart to sing a different song Money can’t buy you joy, nor can the things you’ve got If you're happy with what you have, then you’ve got a lot Leah’s house is so big, Baruch’s bike is new why do others have the things, the things that I need to my clothes are so ugly, my brain works pretty slow My house is small, not very nice and our car is really old, If I were another person, then I could live with pride Just look at me, I live my life always trying to hide I wish I knew the answer, how I could achieve all the things that will give me joy, the things I really need I’ve got to change my outlook, thinking everyone has more, Why should I spend my life feeling ugly, dumb and poor I really need to start now, being happy who I am Being grateful and appreciate all the things I have 7 9.

If Our Mouths If our mouths were vast like the ocean singing songs as wide as the sea Like swirling waves our tongue had expression singing out so joyfully If our lips could shout out Your glory like the breadth of the blue sky As the brightness of the sun light We could see You with our eyes יקים ְל הוֹדוֹת ִ אֵ ין ַאנ ְלַחנוּ מַ ְלס ִפּ 'ְל הוֹדוֹת ְל ָך ה יקים ְל הוֹדוֹת ִ אֵ ין ַאנ ְלַחנוּ מַ ְלס ִפּ 'ְל הוֹדוֹת ְל ָך ה If our hands could spread like the eagles and our feet could run like the hinds We could never properly thank You Doesn’t matter how hard we try You took us from the land of Mitzrayim From the house of slavery In our hunger You sustained us And gave to us our liberty All the limbs You set upon us The holy soul You blew inside Every mouth declares Your glory And each voice shouts out with pride Every single knee bows before you With gratitude bends low each spine In love and fear hearts extoll you Joyful singing all the time 9 11.HaKol Biday Shamayim Whether you are rich or poor Find a dollar on the floor Maybe you are short or tall Cannot catch or throw a ball Even when you win or lose Hurt your leg and get a bruise הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים Even if you ran so hard And won the race by 15 yards Studied for the test all night And every answer came out right Even if you play guitar Better than a superstar הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים But when you scream and lose control Ignore your health and catch a cold When you whine to get more toys The way you’re acting is your choice What you think and what you do All of this is up to you הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים Whether you are weak or strong Short or tall or extra long Every single game you play Nothing ever goes your way You don’t know the reason why You cannot get the kite to fly הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים Although You were in a rush You lost your keys and missed the bus Even though you tried your best Things just turned into a mess Everything was going well But then you slipped and almost fell הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים But when you’re kind and show you care Run to help and lend an ear All the nice things that you say 10 Helping others find their way All of this is up to you No one tells you what to do הכל בידי שמים חוץ מיראת שמים 12.
