A Song of Unity
As I watched the moving video on The Yeshiva World this morning of a protestor reduced to tears upon hearing the song "Shalom Aleichem," I thought to myself what a wonderful song can be composed using the clip as a backdrop. I made up a melody and was struggling with fitting in the lyrics, so I asked Chatgpt to do it for me.
Here is the outcome sans melody.
Verse 1: Tears fall down, a helmet in his hand
The soulful sound of the song so grand
He wipes his face, moved by the beat
The melody lifting him off his feet
Chorus: Shalom aleichem, malachei ha'shalom
Malachei elyon, mimelech malchei hamelachim
Hakadosh baruch hu
Verse 2: In Bnei Brak, the song plays on and on
The protester sways until dawn
He sings along with great emotion
Reminded of his father's devotion
Chorus: Bo'achem le'shalom, malachei ha'shalom
Malachei elyon, mimelech malchei hamelachim
Hakadosh baruch hu
Verse 3: Ahavas chinam, love without end
His father's words, a message to send
The Chareidi girl captures the scene
A moment of unity in between
Chorus: Barchuni le'shalom, malachei ha'shalom
Malachei elyon, mimelech
malchei hamelachim
Hakadosh baruch hu
Verse 4: The pinetle yid, a spark within
Igniting love for his fellow kin
The power of music, the power of the soul
Filling the streets, making us whole
Chorus: Tzeitchem le'shalom, malachei ha'shalom
Malachei elyon, mimelech
malchei hamelachim
Hakadosh baruch hu
Outro: The power of Shabbos, the power of sound
Linking us together, in a moment so profound
The pinetle yid, watch and see
The love and unity that we can be.
Wishing you all a Shabbat shalom, one filled with ahavat chinam and unity.
Here is the outcome sans melody.
