From the moment you were born, People crowded around you to celebrate your birth From your first birthday, You smacked your hand into the cake, From your first day at school, You looked around nervously, From your first bat/bar mitzvah, You couldn't chose what to wear, From your first job, You didn't know to act, From your last job, You were happy, From your death, People cried bitter tears, And kept their only memories of you, All this... Determined who you were, And your impact... In this world

From the moment you were born, People crowded around you to celebrate your birth From your first birthday, You smacked your hand into the cake, From your first day at school, You looked around nervously, From your first bat/bar mitzvah, You couldn't chose what to wear, From your first job, You didn't know to act, From your last job, You were happy, From your death, People cried bitter tears, And kept their only memories of you, All this... Determined who you were, And your impact... In this world
