Cling to the Fire
Clinging to Divine Desires: Samuel Abelow's Spiritual Journey
Lyrics
I'mma cling to the fire
I will hold on to the passion and warmth
She's the moon
Referring to a significant person as the moon, symbolizing beauty and inspiration
My desire
Expressing strong romantic feelings towards the person mentioned
I'mma cling to the one
Continuing the commitment to someone special
I found the one
Finding a special person in life
Hashem is one
Referencing a divine concept, emphasizing unity
Truth
Stating a fundamental concept of reality
If I ever saw it
Expressing recognition of truth if encountered
Can't complain
Contentment despite not possessing material things
Cause I never bought it
Acknowledging the lack of materialistic complaints
The Lord gives it willingly
Belief in divine generosity
I'm on a shopping spree
Metaphorically on a spiritual journey
For everything heavenly
Seeking spiritual and heavenly experiences
Take me from the exile
Asking to be removed from a state of spiritual separation
Take me from the exile
Repeating the desire to be taken out of spiritual exile
I'mma cling to the words
Commitment to the teachings of prophets
Of the prophets
Rejecting irrelevant or false information
I'mma do away with
Deciding to eliminate unnecessary distractions
All the nonsense
Emphasizing spiritual liberation and freedom
My soul is flying free
Expressing disbelief in anything comparable
I've never believed
Affirming the goodness of the divine
In anything quite like this
Emphasizing the value and uniqueness of life
My Lord is the nicest
Expressing admiration for the divine
This life is priceless
Highlighting the preciousness of life
Everything we do
Everything has consequences
From moon to moon
Life's actions have repercussions
Has a consequence
Stressing the importance of consequences
Bring me to Jerusalem
Expressing a desire to be in a sacred place
With confidence
With a sense of trust and certainty
Take me from the exile
Reiterating the plea to be taken out of spiritual exile
Take me from the exile
Repeating the desire for liberation
Take me from the exile
Further emphasis on the plea to be removed from exile
Take me from the exile
Continuing the plea for spiritual freedom
Singing on a full moon
Enjoying a moment of spiritual joy
What I gotta do now
Questioning the next steps in the spiritual journey
Singing on a full moon
Repeating the joyous moment under a full moon
Take me from the exile
Expressing the desire to be taken out of spiritual exile
Exile
Reiteration of the plea to end spiritual exile
Take me from the exile
Continuing to ask for liberation from exile
Bring me from this
Seeking deliverance from a specific place of exile
Bring me from galut
Asking to be removed from a state of spiritual separation
Take me from the exile
Continuing the plea for spiritual freedom
Exile
Reiteration of the desire to end spiritual exile
Take me from the exile
Expressing the plea for liberation from spiritual exile
Bring me from this
Seeking deliverance from a specific place of exile
Bring me from galut
Repeating the plea for liberation from spiritual exile
