[Verse 1]
You’re standing at the door
With your hands full of becoming
I see the light in you
Even before the water
You asked me for advice
So I’m giving you my heart
Keep your head high, stay soft
Let the old fear fall apart
[Pre-Chorus]
Say the berakhah slow
Let it land in your bones
When the water comes close
You’re not going there alone
[Chorus]
Mikveh, mikveh
Come up new and clean
Mikveh, mikveh
A whole new name in me
Keep the shalom inside
Keep the fire bright
Mazel tov, my friend
You were chosen by the light
[Verse 2]
Learn the little holy things
The שבת candles glow
The challah on the table
The way a blessing grows
Ask when you need to ask
No shame in being new
A good soul learns the path
One step at a time with you
[Pre-Chorus]
Say the berakhah slow
Let it land in your bones
When the water comes close
You’re not going there alone
[Chorus]
Mikveh, mikveh
Come up new and clean
Mikveh, mikveh
A whole new name in me
Keep the shalom inside
Keep the fire bright
Mazel tov, my friend
You were chosen by the light
[Bridge]
And if your voice shakes
Let it shake, let it stay
You’re not pretending
You are finding your way
Beit din watching kind
Water holding you tight
From this moment on
You belong to the light
[Final Chorus]
Mikveh, mikveh
Come up new and clean
Mikveh, mikveh
A whole new name in me
Keep the shalom inside
Keep the fire bright
Mazel tov, my friend
You were chosen by the light
Mikveh, mikveh
Walk out shining there
Mikveh, mikveh
A blessing in your hair
May your home be warm
May your days be sweet
Mazel tov, my friend
Khayim new at your feet
