Path to a Pure Heart - southern rock calypso Nanach song

(Verse 1)
Down by the river, where the cypress sways,
Rabbi Nachman’s wisdom lights up my days.
In Likutay Moharan, Torah 21,
He showed me the path where the soul can begin.
Guard your mouth, let no falsehood spill,
Speak only truth, bend your heart to His will.
With fear of the heavens, your spirit’ll climb,
Sanctify your soul, one step at a time.
(Chorus)
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
(Verse 2)
Close your eyes to evil, don’t let ‘em stray,
Keep ‘em fixed on the light of the holy way.
Ears wide open to the sages’ call,
Faith in their words lifts you high above all.
Perfect knowledge, it’s the key to the flame,
Ignites your heart in the Holy One’s name.
Think on the Torah, let your mind take flight,
Your soul’ll burn bright in the sacred light.
(Chorus)
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
(Bridge)
When temptation calls, and the shadows creep,
Don’t let your heart fall to the darkness deep.
Turn that fire to the Torah’s glow,
Pray with passion, let the pure love flow.
A heart ablaze with the holy spark,
Cleanses the soul, drives away the dark.
Speak to your Maker, new words every day,
Ruach HaKodesh lights up your way.
(Verse 3)
So dance through the swamplands, let your spirit soar,
With a heart made pure, you’ll find something more.
Rabbi Nachman’s teaching, it’s a calypso beat,
Guides your soul where the divine and man meet.
Sanctify your senses, let your knowledge grow,
Feel that holy fire in your heart’s overflow.
From the bayou to the heavens, his truth will stand,
Na Nach Nachman, take me by the hand.
(Chorus)
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
(Outro)
So sing it loud, let the steel guitar hum,
Rabbi Nachman’s wisdom, it’s a freedom drum.
With a heart on fire and a soul set free,
Walk the path of truth for eternity.
(Final Chorus)
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
Na Nach Nachma Nachman Me’Uman!
