Time to awake
My hand you must take
I've been watching over
Over you while you're sleeping
I await, I await
The dream state to abate
And now I look in
To the eyes of Baby Ira
Time to get dressed
In our Shabbat best
Today is the day that
We make the long long walk
To the road, to the road
Secure our precious load
You with the diamonds
And me with our Baby Ira
Onward resigned
Kyiv is behind
Along with the thousands
We trudge on ever forward
Please stay true, just stay true
No matter what we do
Maintain our resolve
Lest we drop sweet Baby Ira
Time to evolve
Make a new resolve
A calculated risk
For just one of us to live
On the side, on the side
A place in which to hide
Lay him in the bush
Say goodbye to Baby Ira
End of the road
Lightened of our load
Stripped of our pride and clothes
Standing naked together
The ravine, the ravine
The bloody final scene
Still along the path
The cries of our Baby Ira
