The year is 1941. The Polish army just lost their last battle, and the German's have taken up their plan against the Jewish People, R"L. All of Europe's Jews are now in the hands of the Nazis, and they are subject to every unimaginable type of torture and murder.

The forest is dark. In a little cave in the earth, surrounded by moist walls, a mother is sitting there with a small child in her arms. The child is crying, tired and hungry, and the young mother comforts him with a song.

Go to sleep my little child
Close your eyes do
You're safe here in a mother's arms
Ai Li Loo Li Loo
Do not worry don't be afraid
That the sun has gone away
For soon will come a brand new morning
And a better day

You had your own Yiddishe Mama
But you didn't know her name
But the Nazi's took her from you
And burned her in their flames
A frigid cold, a bitter wind
A sad rain fell that night
When your mother hid you in a field
Safe and out of sight

My blood was dripping from my sleeve
The bullet wound still fresh
When I found you lying in the grass
Barely bones and flesh
I ran and ran and held you tight
Until we found this place
With Partisans will stay the war
In this little space

G-d Al-mighty did His work
Guarding us with love
Not forsaken for a moment
He watches from above
And I will never let you go
No matter how much pain
For you and I both share one Father
It's the same blood in our veins

Destroy my life they did as well
I have nobody left
You from Poland, me from Russia
They left us all bereft
Both of us are here together
In the cold and wild
From you they took away a mother
From me they took my child

But sleep, my baby, don't be afraid
Here under the skies
You have a Father up in heaven
Who'll never close His eyes
And when you grow a little older
Strong and without fear
This same Heavenly Father serve
And to His words adhere

Go in His ways, always strong
Like a soldier goes to war
Take this world like a storm
Shake it to its core
Your soul ascending through the heavens
One after the other
And you'll ask G-d then to take revenge
For every child's mother
