When I was young
I heard a tale
Of a giant standing tall
And his son no so small
They shared a dream
To see the king
They hungered for the day
And hurried on their way
As they neared
The two despaired
A wall rose to the skies
Above the giant's eyes
"Wait, my son, " said he
"Climb upon me
And after you arise
You will be my eyes"
And we will do it, brothers
After us there'll be no others
You and I will do
What giants want to do
So stand and take the credit
We will be the ones to end it
Though we're small
We're standing tall like soldiers
Riding high
'Cause we're on our fathers' shoulders
Holy and pure
Our fathers were
Giants, righteous men
We are small compared to them
But our deeds
Upon their deeds
Together they will bring
Moshiach our king
And we will do it, brothers
After us there'll be no others
You and I will do
What giants want to do
So stand and take the credit
We will be the ones to end it
Though we're small
We're standing tall like soldiers
Riding high
'Cause we're on our fathers' shoulders
It's up to us
To hammer home that final blow
Our fathers started long ago
From Be'er Sheva to Pharaoh
So stand and take the credit
Galus, we're about to end it
Though we're small
We're standing tall like soldiers
Riding high
'Cause we're on our fathers' shoulders
And we will do it, brothers
After us there'll be no others
You and I will do
What giants want to do
So stand and take the credit
We will be the ones to end it
Though we're small
We're standing tall like soldiers
Riding high
'Cause we're on our fathers' shoulders
Oh, fathers' shoulders
