Basi Legani (African Percussion) Lyrics

Basi legani, I've come to my home,

In the cracks of the world, where the wild things grow.

Every spark, every step, every mitzvah we do,

Brings the Shechina closer, where it's waiting for you.

Once, the Shechina shone so near,

A garden of light, no shadows, no fear.

But with each wrong turn, we hid the flame,

Higher She climbed, calling our name.

Now concealment's the canvas where truth is drawn,

Hashem hides in the dark so we find the dawn.

And in the silence, a whisper calls,

Through simple deeds, the barriers fall.

A smile, a prayer, a candle's gleam,

Turns exile's night into redemption's dream.

Basi legani, I've come to my home,

In the cracks of the world, where the wild things grow.

Every spark, every step, every mitzvah we do,

Brings the Shechina closer, where it's waiting for you.

Seven tzaddikim paved the way,

Each generation, a stone they lay.

Not with tools, but with deeds and song,

They built a home where Hashem belongs.

Your kitchen, your car, the love you show,

Turns a chair to a throne where godliness flows.

They say the garden's overgrown,

But every thorn hides seeds unknown.

Each mitzvah's a shovel, each tefillah a seed,

Planting redemption for a world in need.

We fight with light, not with fire or blade,

And in the darkness, a dwelling is made.

Basi legani, I've come to my home,

In the cracks of the world, where the wild things grow.

Every spark, every step, every mitzvah we do,

Brings the Shechina closer, where it's waiting for you.

Bring it home, bring it down, make it real,

In the dust, in the stone, make the Shechina reveal.

Basi legani, Hashem calls out,

This world's My garden—of that, there's no doubt.

Basi legani, I've come to my home,

In the cracks of the world, where the wild things grow.

Every spark, every step, every mitzvah we do,

Brings the Shechina closer, where it's waiting for you.

Basi legani, I've come to my home,

In the cracks of the world, where the wild things grow.

Every spark, every step, every mitzvah we do,

Brings the Shechina closer,

now it's up to you!
