[intro]

דּוֹר לְדוֹר יְשַׁבַּח מַעֲשֶׂיךָ
וּגְבוּרֹתֶיךָ יַגִּידוּ¹

*Dor l'dor yeshabach ma'asecha, u'gevurotecha yagidu.*

[One generation shall praise Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts.]

הֲדַר כְּבוֹד הוֹדֶךָ
וְדִבְרֵי נִפְלְאֹתֶיךָ אָשִׂיחָה¹

*Hadar kevod hodecha, v'divrei nifle'otecha asichah.*

[The splendor of Your glorious majesty and the words of Your wonders I will discuss.]

וֶעֱזוּז נוֹרְאֹתֶיךָ יֹאמֵרוּ
וּגְדוּלָּתְךָ אֲסַפְּרֶנָּה¹

*Ve'ezuz nora'otecha yomeru, u'gedulatecha asaprenah.*

[They shall speak of the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will recount Your greatness.]

[Verse 1]

I can build a house of stone
I can earn a name

I can gather earthly treasures
I can chase a little fame

But the things that last the longest
Are not measured by their worth

They’re the stories and the wisdom
That outlive our time on earth

[Refrain]

דּוֹר לְדוֹר יְשַׁבַּח מַעֲשֶׂיךָ
וּגְבוּרֹתֶיךָ יַגִּידוּ¹

*Dor l'dor yeshabach ma'asecha, u'gevurotecha yagidu.*

[One generation shall praise Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts.]

[Verse 2]

A child listens at the table
To the stories of the past

Never knowing in that moment
How those words are built to last

Every value, every memory
Every blessing, every prayer

Becomes a gift for tomorrow
When another heart will share

[Refrain]

הֲדַר כְּבוֹד הוֹדֶךָ
וְדִבְרֵי נִפְלְאֹתֶיךָ אָשִׂיחָה¹

*Hadar kevod hodecha, v'divrei nifle'otecha asichah.*

[The splendor of Your glorious majesty and the words of Your wonders I will discuss.]

[Verse 3]

The seed becomes a flower
And the flower becomes seed

Each generation answers
A future generation’s need

No one starts the story
No one writes the final page

We’re each a single chapter
In a legacy of ages

[Final Refrain]

דּוֹר לְדוֹר יְשַׁבַּח מַעֲשֶׂיךָ
וּגְבוּרֹתֶיךָ יַגִּידוּ¹

*Dor l'dor yeshabach ma'asecha, u'gevurotecha yagidu.*

[One generation shall praise Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts.]

הֲדַר כְּבוֹד הוֹדֶךָ
וְדִבְרֵי נִפְלְאֹתֶיךָ אָשִׂיחָה¹

*Hadar kevod hodecha, v'divrei nifle'otecha asichah.*

[The splendor of Your glorious majesty and the words of Your wonders I will discuss.]

וֶעֱזוּז נוֹרְאֹתֶיךָ יֹאמֵרוּ
וּגְדוּלָּתְךָ אֲסַפְּרֶנָּה¹

*Ve'ezuz nora'otecha yomeru, u'gedulatecha asaprenah.*

[They shall speak of the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will recount Your greatness.]

דּוֹר לְדוֹר יְשַׁבַּח מַעֲשֶׂיךָ
וּגְבוּרֹתֶיךָ יַגִּידוּ¹

*Dor l'dor yeshabach ma'asecha, u'gevurotecha yagidu.*

[One generation shall praise Your works to another and shall declare Your mighty acts.]

וֶעֱזוּז נוֹרְאֹתֶיךָ יֹאמֵרוּ
וּגְדוּלָּתְךָ אֲסַפְּרֶנָּה¹

*Ve'ezuz nora'otecha yomeru, u'gedulatecha asaprenah.*

[They shall speak of the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will recount Your greatness.]

[Outro]

The stories keep on traveling
Long after voices fade

And every generation
Walks a path another made
