Oorah - Aspire to be Great Lyrics

It's late at night, the young boys out of sight,
His mother and father contend
What will be with our son Naftali Tzvi
Will his learning days have to end?

The child hears, his parents bitter tears
Only he can decide his fate,
He runs to them, with a brand new kind of bren
I want to learn, I promise I'll be great

A Gadol you can be, just look internally
You'll realize all the things you can achieve
Aspire to be great, with each step you take
Hashem gave you the Kochos- just believe

A Gadol you can be, just look internally
You'll realize all the things you can achieve
Aspire to be great, with each step you take
Hashem gave you the Kochos- just believe

Yisroel Meir knew what his friends planned to do
At night they'll take the water carriers pails
And fill them up with ease, through the night they will freeze
And add to this working mans travails

He thinks of the pain if the water does remain
The carrier will have the ice to break
So quiet as can be, each pail he does empty
He cannot bear to see someone in pain

A Gadol you can be, just look internally
You'll realize all the things you can achieve
Aspire to be great, with each step that you take
Hashem gave you the Kochos- just believe

The things you do today, may not feel so great
I'm not that important, you might say
But one thing you don't know is that those small things help you grow
So you can be a Gadol too one day
