Shirona

Justice, Justice - By Doug Cotler


Chorus: Justice, justice, I will pursue you

I will never cease

To do what's right!

The more there's justice

The more there will be peace.

1.

We know what it's like, to be without a home

We know what it's like, to wander years alone

And I must break the chains that bind the slave

And make oppression disappear

And I must help the stranger find a bed

And I will share my bread - so -

Chorus.

2.

In the beggar's eye, sparks of heaven shine

In the captive's cry, the voice of the divine..


And I must.

3.

Everyone must work, to move a single stone

Mountains cruel and cold, can't be moved alone

So we must break the chains that bind the slave

And make oppression disappear

And we must help the stranger find a bed

And we will share our bread - so - 

Chorus.

  As I'll probably get an answer much faster through this list instead of 
combing through a website or my library, in which book can one find Doug's 
"Justice Justice?"   The one I have does not include it (guess it's an older 
one!).
   
  And Shirona, I'd love to chat with you, could you please either email me or 
give out your email address.  Thanks so much.

    A while back I shared with the list my apprehension at teaching Doug 
Cotler's terrific song "Justice, justice", thinking that although the lyrics 
are extremely appropriate for these times, they might be misinterpreted.  After 
careful consideration and some encouragement from list-folks - (thanks, 
Steve...) I decided to go ahead and do it.

    Here's the reason I'm sharing  - this song as become nothing short of a 
phenomenon.  That the kids LOVE this song is hardly the way to describe what 
happens.  They go nuts!  ( 4th, 5th and 6th graders).  The message of the song 
is so powerful and so positive, and seeing that take hold in hundreds of 
children with so much enthusiasm - what can I say - you can't get more "nachas" 
than that as a Jewish music teacher.
