To The Unknown
I don’t even remember how But I spent a few years On a ship till now
The crew was nice There were no mice But all I ate was just plain rice
The sun was withering The ocean kept whispering You’re floating on turquoise ice
One day I went to the Captain Told him I wanna go for a dive Captain said NO You’ll never come back alive…
So I told him
So I told him
To the Unknown I’m on my own
To the Unknown All fears are thrown
To the Unknown My life reborn
Life is too short To spend on a boat That feels like a protective coat
I swam to the shore Where I’ve never been before I felt a deep urge to explore
The sand said he’s crazy The shells said he’s lazy The jungle shook his head and said maybe
So I told them
So I told them
To the Unknown I’m on my own
To the Unknown All fears are thrown
To the Unknown My life reborn
My Parents may cry
My Friends may say why
The Skeptics will frown and slightly sigh
So I’ll tell them
So I’ll tell them
To the Unknown I’m on my own
To the Unknown All fears are thrown
To the Unknown My life reborn

If You Ever Catch A Thief
Far away across the ocean There’s a man behind a screen He sells roses with devotion Making money off my dreams
Giving in to his charmed power I bought his flowers with my bills But when they came they were all dead I lost my money and was misled
So if you ever catch a thief Show him that you’ve got belief Light a match Pull his teeth
I struck him with a mighty stroke Like a storm upon an oak If he’d avoid this one charge I would have suffered by and large
So if you ever catch a thief Show him that you’ve got belief Light a match Pull his teeth
Now I know I can’t correct all wrong Cuz that’s too much for just one song But when I came across that scam I just had to give a damn
A shudder of anguish ate his soul As he was arrested and put in a hole Now he’ll have to return my bills Well that’s just God’s will
So if you ever catch a thief Show him that you’ve got belief Light a match Pull his teeth
Music & Lyrics by Eldad Cohen
Did you Notice?
I am the tree That you moved, overseas I’ve got no roots Nor twigs or leaves
I thought you should know That I’m the tree that has no forest Off all the feelings Feeling lost is the strongest
Did you notice?
Probably not I’m fool with a song I just heard a cry Of a wolf with false hopes
I thought you should know That I’m the tree that has no forest Off all the feelings Feeling lost is the strongest
Did you notice?
I thought you should know That I’m the tree that has no forest Off all the feelings Feeling lost is the strongest
Did you notice?

The Time Is Never Right
Baby, I’ve been waiting for a while Fingers flirting numbers, for a dial Baby, I wanna take you, for a ride
But the time is never right The time is never right
Baby, I like you, it’s very clear Like a mirror dancing wild, I’m too sincere Baby, let’s go out, drink all your fears
But the time is never right The time is never right
And I’ve climbed this tree And you are lost at sea Baby, it’s just a cup of tea
But the time is never right The time is never right
And I (I, I) hate this train (train, train) Cuz it (it, it) moves insane (insane) Wanna have (have, have) you today (today)
But the time is never right The time is never right
Time Time Time is never right
The time is never right The time is never right The time is never right

Looking For Love She Dies
She lies in her bed and cries
Looking for love she dies
Just don’t lie…
She lies in her bed and cries
Looking for love she dies
Clouds rise Open your eyes Please be wise
She lies in her bed and cries
Looking for love she dies
Just don’t lie…
Music & Lyrics Eldad Cohen
gonna Hang up
I just called
To ask how you are
But you talk numbers
Jumping up and down
I can’t hear
You preaching me
I can’t speak
My father’s blind to me
I just asked about your heart And you just answered
With your mind
Tears are falling, that ain’t right
Gonna hang up
Gonna hang up
Gonna hang up
Gonna hang up
Don’t know when
I’ll call again
I’ve been here before
And you’re over there
I have tried
Tried to pretend
That things have changed
But everything’s the same
I just asked about your heart And you just answered
With your mind
Tears are falling, that ain’t right
Gonna hang up
Gonna hang up
Gonna hang up
Gonna hang up
Music & Lyrics by Eldad Cohen
Why Now?
Oh brother, dear brother
I know we haven’t talked, for a long time
But it doesn’t matter for I’m, no longer now
Like two wrecked ships in a storm
We crossed the seas, with dread and scorn
Why Now
Why Now
Why Now
As I die
Oh brother, dear brother
I heard your heart is locked, in a cage of grudge
But let me free you of, that odious judge
Like two birds on a crumbling arch
We’ve lost our poise in this funeral march
Why Now
Why Now
Why Now
As I die
I shake your hand as I leave Bruised and lonely, now you grieve
Why Now
Why Now
Why Now
As I die
Music & Lyrics by Eldad Cohen
Embrace The Now
As the days pass by You’ll understand how As the days pass by You’ll understand how
As the days pass by You’ll understand how As the days pass by You’ll understand how
Let the sun shine Let the river flow Let the cows walk on Let it all go
Don’t ask how Just embrace the now Don’t ask how Just embrace the now
As the days pass by You’ll understand how As the days pass by You’ll understand how
Let the monkeys steal your time Let the boulders touch the sky Let the street vendors lie Let it all go
Don’t ask how Just embrace the now Don’t ask how Just embrace the now
As the days pass by You’ll understand how As the days pass by You’ll understand how

A 1000 Masks And One Screen
A thousand masks and one screen
A generation of the instant caffeine
A thousand masks and one screen
I need some rest, give me some morphine
A thousand masks and one screen
Take a good look at the American Dream
A thousand masks and one screen
Humans controlled by heartless machines
Have you looked at the sun today?
Is it dark blue or pale gray? Have you felt the breeze today? Or where you stuck in virtual delay
A thousand masks and one screen Live online, where everyone is seen
A thousand masks and one screen I need some friends, give some esteem
A thousand masks and one screen Take a good look at the American Dream
A thousand masks and one screen
Humans controlled by heartless machines
Have you looked at the sun today?
Is it dark blue or pale gray? Have you felt the breeze today? Or where you stuck in virtual delay

I'm Done With The Guilt
Remember when I hired you
In a Coffee Shop, downtown Jeru
Buttoned shirt, formal look
You read me like, an open book
Two days later, one phone call
I was surprised: a ride for fall… You asked for whiskey and a hug
You felt so lonely, attention was your only drug
You gave me a flower, I threw it with delight
Cuz you’re the Princess
And I’m the Knight
And now you’re angry,
Though I apologized
I said sorry once
But you won’t forgive
Now it’s not about me
I’m done with the guilt
I said sorry once
But you won’t forgive
Now it’s not about me
I’m done with the guilt
Time passed by, it really did And then I wrote you, and asked for relief
You said I hate you, you’re such a fake
But I said sorry, for Heaven’s sake
And so I waited, a few weeks passed
I felt so sad, when thought of the past
So I wrote a poem, cuz I felt so lonely
It was so blunt, nothing was phony
You read my poem, You said, leave me alone
I dropped my sword
Prayed to the Lord
And you’re still mad
Though I said it was my fault
I said sorry once
But you won’t forgive
Now it’s not about me
I’m done with the guilt
I said sorry once
But you won’t forgive
Now it’s not about me
I’m done with the guilt
אֱמֶת שֶׁלִּי תִּתְפַּשְּׁטִי
אֱמֶת שֶׁלִּי — תִּתְפַּשְּׁטִי הָרְאִי לִי אֶת פנייך הָרְאִי לִי אֶת צבעייך הָרְאִי לִי, הסתלבטי
אֱמֶת שֶׁלִּי — תִּתְפַּשְּׁטִי אחרייך אֶצְעַד לְנַצֵּחַ מֵאֲחוֹרֶיךָ לֹא אֹכַל לְהֵחָבֵא שְׁקוּפָה אֶת כְּמוֹ אֲוִיר
מִמֵּךְ לָמַדְתִּי לִזְרֹק אֶת הדאווין אֶת הָרֹאשׁ לְהַרְכִּין לִהְיוֹת אֲנִי
אֱמֶת שֶׁלִּי — תִּתְפַּשְּׁטִי הָרְאִי לִי אֶת עַצְמִי הָרְאִי לִי אֶת הַהוֹנָאוֹת שֶׁיַּמִּי קֵץ לַחַיִּים במרכאות
אֱמֶת שֶׁלִּי — תִּתְפַּשְּׁטִי הוֹרִידִי אֶת נעלייך הוֹרִידִי אֶת בגדייך סוונרי אוֹתִי סִנְווּרִי
מִמֵּךְ לָמַדְתִּי לִזְרֹק אֶת הדאווין אֶת הָרֹאשׁ לְהַרְכִּין לִהְיוֹת אֲנִי
אֱמֶת שֶׁלִּי — הַאִם אֶת שֶׁלִּי? אִם כֵּן אָז הַנְהְנִי התפשטי נָא כְּמוֹ שְׁמוּעָה תְּטַהֲרִי נָא אֶת גּוּפִי
What is This Sign That's Shining?
I see a star between the skies
It shines so bright, it hurts my eyes
It jumps right off onto my thighs
It must be something, maybe a sign
Right when it starts to disappear
I hear a whisper in my ear
The
Universe sends me a hint A little sign, a little wink
What is this sign that shining? Maybe a message coming… Why does it keep returning? There’s gotta be a meaning to this
At first I think it makes no sense
I look again using my lens
Oh my god, I see my name
A cue from heaven, once again
What is this sign that shining? Maybe a message coming… Why does it keep returning? There’s gotta be a meaning to this
Miracles do appear
Closer than you think
Yeah Yeah Yeah
What is this sign that shining? Maybe a message coming… Why does it keep returning? There’s gotta be a meaning to this
