Ayehka, Call of the Inner Soul
​Lyrics by Rabbi Elizabeth Goldstein

Ayehka Ayehka Ayehka (2x)
 
Where are you running?
From whom are you hiding?
Why are you standing still?
 
Where are you running?
From whom are you hiding?
Try to discern your will!
 
Ayehka Ayehka Ayehka (2x)
 
From dust I was born
To dust I’ll return
A piece of a fragile world
 
With earth I will struggle
Gravel and stone
But I am not alone
 
Ayehka Ayehka Ayehka (2x)
 
Where are you running?
From whom are you hiding?
Why are you standing still?
 
Where are you running?
From whom are you hiding?
Try to discern your will!
 
Ayehka Ayehka Ayehka (2x)

Oppressive work conditions pushed us to the end of what we thought we could endure
That God brought us here

So now we must bring this yield
In partnership with heaven and earth
It is the season of our joy
Let us give thanks

Crops growing free and strong 
Take from the field and gather your yield
With these words of our humble song
