Lyrics
Chazak, chazak, v'nit chazeik
The day is done, the task complete, you proved that you can shine
Your glow fills those around you and their words echoed through your life
Oh, be strong, be strong, be strengthened
Be strong, be strong, be strengthened
Sometimes we do what's easy rather than take the time to care
Sometimes what's right is hard to do and now for this you'll be prepared
Oh, be strong, be strong, you will be strengthened
Look up, look out, behind you and beyond
We strengthen one another, our voices join in righteous song
Be strong, be strong, be strengthened
We will be strong, be strong, we will be strengthened
When you have to make a choice think of those who came before
This wish for you will help you to remember l'dor vador
If this moment is of happiness or maybe it's a moment of pain,
Remember you don't stand alone
Now, take strength as link in this wonderful chain
