Lyrics:
Walking through the ruins of our sacred home
Where our Bais Hamikdosh stood now the foxes roam
Overcome with grief by their awful plight
Such a desecration to the holiest of sites

But one man shed no tears
He just stood there laughed and smiled
He answered their confusion and explained
This destruction was foretold before our home is built anew
So I smile as I see those words come true

And though we wait for so many years our faith remains the same
That soon the time will come when we will know of no more pain
And though we’ve cried so many tears we are comforted by you
Akiva, Akiva Nichamtanu

How could we have known it would take this long
Clinging to your hopeful words trying to be strong
You’re the one who taught that we too can find
Beyond the pain and sorrow there is a greater plan in mind

That one day we’ll see the glory of our eternal Bais Hamikdosh
As the sounds of laughter fill our streets again
Our elders and our children in the city of our King
Birchovos Yerushalayim

And though we wait for so many years our faith remains the same
That soon the time will come when we will know of no more pain
And though we’ve cried so many tears we are comforted by you
Akiva, Akiva Nichamtanu
