lyrics

"One other piece of context: we stand for Mourner's Kaddish for eleven months after someone has passed."
---

I’m never not standing at mourner’s kaddish
Everybody stares at me
Never not standing at mourner’s kaddish
My whole community
So you, my friend, oh you, my friend
I hope you know you’re dear
I’d rather celebrate you while you’re here

All my friends have lots of stories
Most of them we don’t tell
We’re scared we’ll set each other off
That may be just as well
[But] you, my friend, oh you, my friend
Please know I held you dear
I’ve been sayin’ your name every year

Oh, I know you tried
Oh, I know you tried

Hey, old friend, it’s good to see you but
It’s always at a wake
We show up strong… still I wonder
How many we can take
So you, my friend, oh you, my friend
Let’s keep our focus clear
Try to be for blessing while we’re here

Oh, I know you tried
Oh, I hope we tried

I’m never not standing at mourner’s kaddish
Go ahead and stare at me
Never not standing at mourner’s kaddish
My whole community
So you, my friend, oh you, my friend
Let’s make a pact right here:
Gonna hang on through another year
I won’t make you stand for me this year
