Your name is Emet Tzion
Your sacred question is to find the truth of Zion
Born into Babylon
Your family walks beside you
To give you the strength to carry on
In your sacred question

Yai dai dai dai da dai
Yai dai da dai
Yai dai dai dai da dai dai daaaiiii

If we can make it easier for you, you know we will
Some things are out of our control but some are our free will
I’ll give you hints of what I’ve learned along the way
But your sacred question is not meant to be answered in a single day

We come from a people
Who lived long ago
Who teach us of dedication, liberation and adaptation
Our stories tell of all the beauty and the pain
We are not the victim, the perpetrator, or the savior

Our stories are older
Older than the words
Older than the rituals
Older than the labels

It’s good to know you belong but be careful where you place your belonging
It’s good to know you have a home and always listen to your calling

Your name is Emet Tzion
Your sacred question is to find the truth of Zion
Born into Babylon
Your family walks beside you
To give you the strength to carry on
In your sacred question

Yai dai dai dai da dai
Yai dai da dai
Yai dai dai dai da dai dai daaaiiii

Your middle name is my mother’s name, Meisel
A Mazel is good luck, a blessing, a celebration, a gift from creation
Your last name is your abba’s name
It means to the color black
Schwartz like the night sky, the fertile soil, the soul of the eye

Now your name is spoken in
Your destiny unfurled
Welcome to your family
Your home in this world, in this world
