SOMETHING GOOD
(the son) I remember You giving me strength Although you ran away, I was privileged to forgive You already sang all the words I was left with silence
(the son) Do you remember Hugging me one morning Telling me: Remember you are now The man of the house Maybe you forgot I was only a child Your child
(the father) What you don’t really know That i sang for you in bed Until morning came I was yours, So yours, you hear? I sang to you until morning came
(the father) Strength, You give me strength To remember What was good over the years Something good Happens within me (the son) Happiness Is you being with me now I will take it with me, For my whole life
(the father) Do you remember me Not really being there I walked naked Only with a king’s crown On my head I tried so hard To cover For what was missing I also remember Hugging you one morning Saying a sentence That cost me dearly Maybe i forgot You were only a child My child
(the son) What you don’t really know I heard you singing to me Every night in bed I was yours, So yours, So listening How you sang for me Until morning came
Strength, How you give me strength To remember What was good Over the years Something good Happens within me Happiness Is you being with me now I will take it with me, All my life
Ishai Levy, one of Israel's most talented singers, couldn't deal with his success and fell heavily into drugs.
Shir Levy is Yshai Levy's son. While Yshai was married he had an affair and Shir was born out of that affair.
Shir was raised by his grandparents and until he was a teenager, didn't know Yishai is his father.
Today Shir is a talented and popular singer and after many years of no relationship is now in contact with Yishai. This beautiful song tells their story.
