I was young when I started Just wires and old machines Trying hard to understand What broken really means Late nights into mornings Fixing problems line by line Never thought the road ahead Would slowly turn to mine And every door kept opening Another call to take Another person counting on me Another choice to make Ohhh… Every road I walk Leads to one more weight But I keep carrying it anyway Now they call me Avi But somewhere deep inside Avremi still remembers What life felt like before the climb IntelliComp and long nights Building something from the floor Then the Air Force came and found me And somehow there was more More people needing answers More systems on my name Funny how accomplishment And responsibility became the same Ohhh… Every road I walk Leads to one more weight But I keep carrying it anyway Hatzalah in the nighttime Sirens cutting through the dark Running toward the chaos When somebody’s world falls apart Shomrim building structure Trying to hold the line So good people have protection When trouble comes in time Then buses every morning Children row by row And my daughter riding with me More precious than she knows She fights harder than most people Just to stand where others stand Still somehow she smiles gently While I’m trying to understand Ohhh… Time keeps pulling me Further every day From the people I would rather stay beside Wednesday nights still save me One dinner with my wife One quiet hour together In the middle of this life No radios or meetings No problems left to solve Just sitting there beside her Trying to make the moment pause And I know why I do this I know why I push through To build the strongest future That I possibly can do But sometimes all the providing And all the work I do Still feels like stealing moments From the ones I’m doing it for My father’s getting older And suddenly time is loud Hospital halls and silence Changing everything somehow Montreal and Melbourne New York so far away All of us just wishing We could sit with them today Ohhh… Every road I walk Leads me far from home Still I carry everybody with me when I go I used to think success meant Maybe life would settle down But every answered problem Just brought another around Still if someone needs me How do I turn away? If I know how to help them How could I not stay? Now they call me Avi But deep inside me still Avremi’s just a husband Trying to balance love and will And praying all the people That I could not always hold Still somehow felt my heart with them Even when I had to go.
