“Coming Out of the Dark”
By: Gloria Estefan
Why be afraid if I'm not alone?
Though life is never easy
The rest in unknown
And up to now for me it's been
Hands against stone
Spent each and every moment
Searching for what to believe
Coming out of the dark
I finally see the light now
And it's shining on me~
I learned that Judaism is both a weakness and a strength for
its believers. However, just like the lyrics of the song I
believe that Jewish people must not be afraid to continue in
believing because they are not alone and at the end of the day
there will be hope just like the story of Samson, God forgave
Samson and still accomplished great things through Samson.
Indeed, they will see a light that shines to bring
enlightenment.
