When I was a starry eyed
undergrad rabbi wannabe
Mel Taubman pointed at his siddur
as we stood in the Shul's back row
and put me on the spot
asking, "How can I say this as true,
that G-d brings the dead back to life?"
I told him that just like we sleep
and wake up in the morning
so too the dead will be revived
though I really had no idea
I just knew the right line to say
But today I have a clue
and I feel it in my bones
because I've seen it with my life
it's a game of hide and seek that
the so called dead play with us
no, G-d doesn't bring them back
because he never let them die.
