Name: The Sky's Reply
Duration: P00H05M07S
Description: This song was born in the early days of the pandemic when most of us were feeling constricted, confused, and overwhelmed by sudden lockdown. It came through while in relationship to a dear one who was uniquely suffering during this time as a survivor of sexual and systemic violences. As such, the song is a nod to the strength of survivors and a prayer for healing and justice.

lyrics

מִֽן־הַ֭מֵּצַ֥ר קָרָ֣אתִי יָּ֑הּ עָנָ֖נִי בַמֶּרְחָ֣ב יָֽהּ׃

Min haMetzar karati Yah
Ah-nani vamerchav Yah

To You I call, feeling scared and small.
And You reply with the vastness of the sky!
