Lyrics:
There i was stuck in the mud,
seemed there was no way out,
tried my luck, time and again,
but met up with only doubt,
there seemed to be no path for me,
the landscape was pretty bleak
what i needed was a boost, a push,
to get me on my feet


One day things all took a turn,
and i’ve never since looked back,
from when I pulled in to Yeshiva
something here just changed my track,
from that first encouraging warm welcome
that still greets me every day,
i’m no longer on a lonely road,
i got company on the way

Cuz i’m moving forward now,
with a dream, a goal in sight,
got what i need, to succeed,
to finally get it right,
And on this journey’ i’m traveling,
with my rebbes, and my friends,
the fuel i get at MOE
Keeps me going till the end

is it the late night kumzitses
that really make things Knock
or the hallel sung in unison…
that gives me that geshmake,
each blatt gemara with my rebbe,
keeps turning up my speed,
every day propels me one more mile ,
towards who i want to be

can’t explain just how it feels
standing in the shoes,
of those who’ve been at the bottom of the heap,
nothing to lose,
to stand high up on that mountain,
a face glowing with the pride,
cuz nothing beats the ski lift up with your rebbe at your side

Cuz i’m moving forward now,
with a drive i never had,
Cuz here i am accepted,
and loved for who i am
This journey that i’m taking,
can get a bit rocky
But i know i’m gonna make it
cuz MOE believes in me


never running low on gas,
cuz there’s always someone there
with a shot of positivity,
to get me in high gear,
with full-time roadside assistance,
of those who’ve done this route before,
the role models at my yeshiva ,
give me what to strive for

so here i am, cruising along,
got all the boys with me,
we’re grateful to be on this ride,
with breathtaking scenery,
Im gonna honk 4 eatontown,
Cuz i’m full of gratitude,
for everything about this place,
That got me on the move

Cuz i’m moving forward now,
with a dream, a goal in sight,
got what i need, to succeed,
to finally get it right,
And on this journey’ i’m traveling,
with my rebbes, and my friends,
the fuel i get at Eatontown,
Keeps me going till the end
