Album: Inner Flame
Rachel knew her man was strong
But he was turning forty he couldn’t read
He’d trim your tree make a dime
Married a woman so divine
And sh’d be the one change history
Chase your dreams don’t wait for me A man must face his destiny
And I can’t wait to see
Grab each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Lint by line it’ll work out fine
Greatest sage that ever lived
Had a tough time as a kid
You see he was turning forty he couldn’t read
They stood together like a poem
By the river near their home
'Cuz what you see is meant to be He saw soft water rocking stone
Maybe Torah reach my bones
And I change destiny
I’ll grab each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line it’ll work out fine
Ouuuouuuu… ayyyayyayy Akiva
Ouuuouuuu… ayyyayyayy Akiva
A winters day a summers night
Rachel sat by candlelight
She could wait forever graciously
Came back to town a little gray
A thousand students in his way
She was in the back so patiently
He held a crown for all to see
I can never teach what she taught me And I learned bravery
I grabbed each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Line by line it’ll work out fine
Chase your dreams don’t wait for me A man must face his destiny
And I can’t wait to see
Grab each letter as it comes
Word by word is how it’s done
Lint by line it’ll work out fine
Ouuuouuuu… ayyyayyayy Akiva
Ouuuouuuu… ayyyayyayy Akiva… Akiva… Akiva
