You have come too far now
And there is a story
I’d rather not have to tell

On one side were the cats and they were so creepy
On the other side the mice
So scared, they could not understand

As a storyteller and also a witness
I invite you to come
Hold my hand if you fear
This unfairy tale
I remember being at home
That’s when the cats broke in the door
We were taken on a train

They pushed us and locked the door
It was so dark
It was so cold to breath
I’ve got very sick
My zeide asked for help
I never saw him again

Come light
Take us from this haze
Dancing in the shade
I believe in the sunshine even on a cloudy night

On the warmth of my bed
Decades after my past
My Zeide came

Mein kind come to rest
We will never forget!

Come light
Take us from this haze
Dancing in the shade
I believe in the sunshine even on a cloudy night
