I am a Jew
I wonder why I am hated
I hear voices scream
I see smoke from the cave
I want to be free
I am a Jew

I pretend this is not happening
I feel alone and afraid
I touch my special bowl
I worry that i will be Chosen
I cry in my sleep
I am a Jew

I understand i might die
I feel that my hope has already left me
I dream of escaping from this horrendous place
I try to be strong
I hope God answers my prayers
I am Jew
