R' Akiva

Rachel knew her man was strong
 But he was turning forty he couldn't read
 He'd trim your tree make a dime
 Married a woman so divine
 And sh'd be the one change history
 Chase your dreams don't wait for me
 A man must face his destiny
 And I can't wait to see
 Grab each letter as it comes
 Word by word is how it's done
 Lint by line it'll work out fine
 Greatest sage that ever lived
 Had a tough time as a kid
 You see he was turning forty he couldn't read
 They stood together like a poem
 By the river near their home
 'Cuz what you see is meant to be
 He saw soft water rocking stone
 Maybe Torah reach my bones
 And I change destiny
 I'll grab each letter as it comes
 Word by word is how it's done
 Line by line it'll work out fine
 Ouuuouuuu... ayyyayyayy Akiva
 Ouuuouuuu... ayyyayyayy Akiva
 A winters day a summers night
 Rachel sat by candlelight
 She could wait forever graciously
 Came back to town a little gray
 A thousand students in his way
 She was in the back so patiently
 He held a crown for all to see
 I can never teach what she taught me
 And I learned bravery
 I grabbed each letter as it comes
 Word by word is how it's done
 Line by line it'll work out fine
 Chase your dreams don't wait for me
 A man must face his destiny
 And I can't wait to see
 Grab each letter as it comes
 Word by word is how it's done
 Lint by line it'll work out fine
 Ouuuouuuu... ayyyayyayy Akiva
 Ouuuouuuu... ayyyayyayy Akiva... Akiva... Akiva
