Dance to The Day
[TZIPPORAH]
You think you’ve captured me, my body, and my soul
You think I’m yours in your command and your control
You bid me dance for your pleasure and your glee
And I could stand here stubbornly
But now, I will dance
But my dance will be only for me
I dance to the day, I am free
I dance to the day, I am free
Ani hof'shiya, eheyeh hof'shiya
Ani eheyeh hof'shiya
Ani hof'shiya, eheyeh hof'shiya
Ani eheyeh hof'shiya
How did you like that?
Did it thrill your swollen pride?
You think you’ve chained me here
But you’re the one who's tied
To your arrogant kingdom
Which you cannot understand
Someday will crumble back to sand
And then, I will dance
Or if that day I don’t live to see
All of the others like me
Will dance to the day, we are free
I dance, ohhh!
Dance to the day, I am free!
