Although this song was not written with Rosh Hashanah in mind, the optimistic themes of renewal, growth, and committing to the values and people we cherish are relevant to both the secular and Jewish New Year. The lyrics can be seen below.\u00a0Strongly committed to the integration of traditional and secular wisdom, the Maccabeats perform an eclectic array of Jewish, American, and Israeli songs. <\/em><\/p>\n

This Is the New year<\/h2>\n

Another year you made a promise
\nAnother chance to turn it all around
\nAnd do not save this for tomorrow
\nEmbrace the past and you can live for now
\nAnd I will give the world to you<\/p>\n

Speak louder than the words before you
\nAnd give them meaning no one else has found
\nThe role we play is so important
\nWe are the voices of the underground
\nAnd I will give the world to you<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Say everything you’ve always wanted
\nBe not afraid of who you really are
\n‘Cause in the end we have each other
\nAnd that’s at least one thing worth living for
\nAnd I will give the world to you<\/div>\n
\n

A million suns that shine upon me
\nA million eyes you are the brightest blue
\nLet’s tear the walls down that divide us
\nAnd build a statue strong enough for two<\/p>\n

I pass it back to you
\nAnd I will wait for you
\n‘Cause I would give the world
\nAnd I would give the world
\nAnd I would give the world to you<\/p>\n

This is the new year
\nA new beginning
\nYou made a promise
\nYou are the brightest
\nWe are the voices
\nThis is the new year
\nWe are the voices
\nThis is the new year<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
