מילות השיר
I had a teacher
A Rebbi in my life
Who made me what I am today
I was too young thento know that I'd owe
A debt I could never repay
Now, we were no angels
But Rebbi stayed on
He saw something we couldn't see
Year after year at the front of the class
Building the world that would be
He could've been a doctor
accountant, a lawyer
Had wealth and a fancy degree
He could've chosen to go for the gold
But instead my Rebbi chose me
How I wish you could see that the message you taught
(x2 the lessons we've learned)
Remains with us all of our lives
Rebbi, just know that you're changing the world
You do it one child at a time
Countless talmidim who stand up and say
Thank you, dear Rebbi
Every day
I had a teacher
A Rebbi in my life
But it's only now when I'm grown
I realize that teacher and Rebbi of mine
Had a family and life of his own
And I'd like to tell them
You all have a zechus
Because you were there to support
Like Rabbi Akiva who said of his wife
All that is mine's really yours
May you all have brochos
And share joy and nachas
And blessings for eternity
You could have chosen to go for the gold
But with you, my Rebbi chose me
