Destiny
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

This world is standing on three pillars reaching from the depths of the earth to the end of the sky
Truth, peace and judgment delicately balancing His will with the actions of you and I
Oh, what a fragile universe we were sent to heal, so needy of repair
Destiny
What could and couldn’t be - What was and what will be
Destiny
Wherever freewill takes us,
He will not forsake us
All is guided by the architect Divine
We think decisions lead us,
But He always sees us Tikkun Olam,
Repair his masterful design
Destiny
Bigotry and Blindness, hatred and unkindness
All our tribulations must be overcome
Like raindrops slowly falling, we can hear Him calling
Transform darkness into light, Tikkun Olam

Chorus

Destiny
What could and couldn’t be What was and what will be
Destiny Destiny
What should and shouldn't be What is - is meant to be
Destiny
Tikun Olam Tikun Olam Tikun Olam Olam
Tikun Olam Tikun Olam Tikun Olam Olam
Shadows and confusion, evil and delusion
Surround us so that we are free to make a choice
Alleviate aggression, obliterate oppression Tikum Olam,
Let's come together as one voice
Destiny
Eyes in His direction, focused on correction
Singing out like instruments of Kabalah
In moments of reflection, reaching for perfection
We restore our world to peace, Tikkun Olam

Chorus

El Na Rafa Na La, El Na Rafa Na La, El Na Rafa Na La, El Na Rafa Na La
Oh, what a fragile universe we were sent to heal, so needy of repair

The Maker
Robin Dermer (BMI)/Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

When I am in control, I’m the Maker of my life
The one with the power to make happiness or strife
When I’m in control, I am the infinite one
The Maker whose work can never be done
I busy myself arranging and planning
Dictating, dreaming, directing, demanding
By taking the job of Maker I’ve found
That leaving out G-d is like withholding sound

Chorus

I am the maker when I’m in control
Alone at the helm, I could never be whole
Surrender my will and I give up command
I resign as the maker, and reach for his hand

When I’m in control, I’m driven by fear Faith is elusive,
I let my emotions steer
For a moment it’s light I think life’s alright
Only to find once again day becomes night
I believe I am in charge
When I’m in control I can rule, I can run
But I can’t touch my soul
By taking the job of Maker I’ve found
That leaving out G-d is like withholding sound
I am the maker when I’m in control

Chorus

Alone at the helm, I could never be whole
Surrender my will and I give up command
I resign as the maker, and reach for his hand
In control Alone at the helm, I could never be whole
Surrender my will and I give up command
I resign as the maker, and reach for his hand


Here I Am
Robin Dermer (BMI)/Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

I WANNA KNOW WHO YOU ARE
WANNA FEEL YOU CLOSER TO MY HEART
WANNA SHINE IN YOUR SHADOW
BE THE SOUND YOUR VOICE MAKES
(YOUR) EYES AT DAYBREAK
I WANNA BE YOUR HAND
HERE I AM

Can I reach you with my prayer
Like a ladder built to rise
Above the sun?
Will I feel you in the air
See heaven and the earth becoming one?

I was drowning in an ocean of desire
Water rushing trying to take away my fire
Instead of leaving me lost and uninspired
You lifted me higher

Can I touch you with my words
Will they soar like wings on wind and fly?
Will I be worthy of your call
Will you see my blind devotion in the sky?

Here I am
Tell me what you want from me
Here I am - hineni




Third House Rising
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

A king will arise from a humble start
Bring Torah to every open heart
Follow the path over sand and sea
Strengthen your weakness –Amen

On the heels of Moshiach - world to come
The battle over evil will be won
Gates of the Temple - our victory
Ultimate redemption - Amen

We’ve been watching good and bad collide
This grand disguise can’t hide the

Chorus

Third house rising
Its glory will be greater
An army of angels

Predators gone from the holy land
Restore King David’s dynasty

Change is a coming everywhere

Music Goes Round
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

There’s a party going on
You should be dancing to this song
You gotta take somebody’s hand
While you move to the music and spin the circle round
Music goes round and round
Every minute, every hour
You can tap into His power
Every second is a chance
To be happy as you dance
Leave your cares behind
It’s celebration time

Chorus

Music goes around and round
Loose yourself inside the sound
Step to the side and turn around
Dance
Spirit lifts you off the ground
Rhythm never lets you down
Music goes around and round
Dance

For so many years we’ve cried
Lived, loved, sacrificed and died
All our hope for brighter days
And our faith in all His ways
Spin the circle round
Music goes round and round
When there’s sadness and there’s sorrow
We will always have tomorrow
Taking lessons from the past
We’ll make our traditions last
‘til the end of time
Celebrate- l’chiam
Like the world the circle’s spinning
Every end again beginning
Like the holy words inspire
Every step will take you higher
Dancing as we climb
To the beat of time



Keep Smiling
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

If you think you’re gonna
Get things to always go your way
You are so mistaken
When the rain comes down,
And it looks Like it could be an awful day
It’ll be what you make it

Your happiness is up to you
Whenever you give up trying and you don’t know what to do
Woo hoo hoo

Chorus

Keep smiling
Smile - you can change your point of view
Keep smiling
Smile - let your love come shining through
Keep smiling Smile when inside you feel like crying
Keep smiling
Let Him see you smile while you sing

Sing it
La la la la la la la la
Keep smiling
La la la la la la la

You know you should be
Thankful for what comes your way
Everyday you’re living
Is a lucky day
Don’t you know-
There’s heartache in the world today
Look at what you’ve been given.


Souls Live On
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

Left my wife and daughter standing there
Snow and ashes filled the air Heartless soldiers, hateful men
Told me that I’d never feel their love again
Tattooed a number where my watch had been
All that they left me with was what I held within
I knew we’d dance again like on our wedding day
Nothing on this earth can take my faith away

Chorus

Seems to me
It didn’t have to be
I close my eyes
And hear the cries
I know he has a plan
I just don’t understand
Millions gone,
Maybe souls live on

Lifeless shadows, the scent of fear
Cold and hungry, to numb to shed a tear
I watched my people taken one by one
Prayed to G-d I’d live to see the morning sun
A bullet couldn’t touch the soul
Hunger wouldn’t starve the soul
Fire couldn’t burn the soul



Glitter In His Garden
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

I was born in His garden
Where knowledge ends and faith begins
A thousand doors but one way in
Warmed by Flames of eternity
His love ignites inside of me
And I’m in Eden
Living in paradise
We are like glitter in His garden
Diamonds on the water
Shimmer in the sky
We are like glitter in His garden
Brilliant sparks of knowing
Planted here to shine
Like glitter in his garden
In his garden my love is free
From chains of negativity, fear fed by disharmony
No confusion, no ignorance
Everything I need I’m given
When I’m with him * Living in paradise
I see
Shades of yellow and sapphire blue
Painted leaves of autumn trees
And shifting shadows
Living in paradise




Freedom
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

Free birds soar high but they can’t fly beyond the limits of the sky
Fish can be free but they’re still trapped beneath the waters of the ocean
We think we’re free but were imprisoned by our ego and our minds
He made the world for us then made us search ourselves to find our freedom

Are we living in a fantasy?
Are we slaves to our desires?

Chorus

Are we really
Free, Free, Freedom
Only He sets us Free
Free Freedom
Let my people go
Free, Free, Freedom
Are we really ever
Free, Free
We need freedom

In each and every generation and on each and every day
We all must free ourselves from slavery and all its limitations
It makes a difference if we step this way or go the other way
Decisions either keep us chained or they will lead to liberation

Mah nishtanah halailah hazeh

Free but were imprisoned by our ego and our minds
He made the world for us then made us search ourselves to find our freedom

Are we living in a fantasy?
Are we slaves to our desires?

Chorus

Are we really
Free, Free, Freedom
Only He sets us Free
Free Freedom
Let my people go
Free, Free, Freedom
Are we really ever
Free, Free
We need freedom

In each and every generation and on each and every day
We all must free ourselves from slavery and all its limitations
It makes a difference if we step this way or go the other way
Decisions either keep us chained or they will lead to liberation

Mah nishtanah halailah hazeh

Our Love is Stronger

Chorus

I’ve done my best,

And good fortune follows
May you have all the love your heart can hold
(and want to give it away)

Chorus

I’ve done my best,
Lord knows I’ve tried Roots have been planted, you’ve got wings to fly (I’ll watch you fly away)
When it’s time to let go, I’ll try not to cry
Our love is stronger
Then hello and goodbye




Light Up The World
Robin Dermer (BMI)/Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

Every cry of a newborn child,
Every smile, every act of kindness
Birds in flight
Stars at night
Every hope, every song that’s sung
Every kiss, every inspiration
Morning dew
A look from you

One tiny flame
Little spark
In the darkness glowing
Brings the light

Chorus

Light up the world
Light up the world
If we all shine together
We can
Light up the world
Light up the world

Every love, every laughter’s cheer
Every step in the right direction
Family
Generosity
Every good, every miracle
His creation, illumination
Is His plea
For you and me

One tiny seed
Little life
In the garden growing
Brings the light

Chorus

Light up the world
Light up the world
If we all shine together
We can
Light up the world
Light up the world

Every love, every laughter’s cheer
Every step in the right direction
Family
Generosity
Every good, every miracle
His creation, illumination
Is His plea
For you and me

One tiny seed
Little life
In the garden growing
Brings the light



Jerusalem
Robin Dermer (BMI) / Lawrence Dermer (BMI)

As we climb our way toward freedom
On steps of generations past
Every struggle brings us
Closer to him then the last
As he navigates our journey
Takes a pencil to our plan
His intention brings us Closer to the promised land

Chorus

Do these tears know who made them fall?
Do hearts know why they recall
Jerusalem?
We’re coming home (i see the end of the road)
Yerushalayim
Jerusalem

Always been and always will be
A home to those who hear the call
Built on deep devotion
This time the temple will not fall
We shall do and we shall listen
Follow as he lights the way
Let us stand before him
Adore him, implore him, bow and pray

Yerushalayim
It’s been a long and lonely road
