[Verse 1]
Am
In a village near our home
          Dm
works a carpenter alone.
      Am
He's been carving wood for years,
Dm                     E
shtenders shelves and chairs.
       Am
Daily buyers come and go,
            Dm                   G
but there's one thing they don't know.
Am
His thoughts, so far away,
       Dm            E      Am
while waiting for a special day.


[Chorus]
            F              G               Am
There is a dream a vision deep within his heart.
             F                   G             Am
That he'll rebuild the Beis Hamikdash part by part.
       Dm             E7        Am
Doing mitzvos, adding precious stones.
                  Dm           E
Our dream, our palace, Yerushalayim our home.
            F                   G               Am
Yes There's is a dream a vision deep within his heart.
             F                   G             Am
That he'll rebuild the Beis Hamikdash part by part.
      Dm               E7        Am
Doing mitzvos, adding precious stones.
Dm           E
Yerushalayim our home.


[Verse 2]
      Am
In a crumbling little home,
         Dm
lives a fiddler all alone.
      Am
His inheritance so dear,
    Dm            E
for many ancient years.
            Am                             Dm              G
It's this instrument he holds, his great-grandfather he's told.
       Am                          Dm          E         Am
Would hurry off each day to the courtyards of Hashem to play.


[Chorus]
            F              G               Am
There is a dream a vision deep within his heart.
             F                   G             Am
That he'll rebuild the Beis Hamikdash part by part.
       Dm             E7        Am
Doing mitzvos, adding precious stones.
                  Dm           E
Our dream, our palace, Yerushalayim our home.
            F                   G               Am
Yes There's is a dream a vision deep within his heart.
             F                   G             Am
That he'll rebuild the Beis Hamikdash part by part.
      Dm               E7        Am
Doing mitzvos, adding precious stones.
                  Dm           E
Our dream, our palace, Yerushalayim our home.


[Verse 3]
     Am
On a mountain on a stone,
      Dm
sits mashiach all alone.
Am                         Dm              E
Suffering for years, from all our sins he bears.
         Am
While so painfully he cries,
         Dm                   G
prayers piercing through the skies.
       Am                     Dm               E    Am
He's pleading with Hashem to take us all back home again.


[Chorus]
            F              G               Am
There is a dream a vision deep within his heart.
             F                   G             Am
That he'll rebuild the Beis Hamikdash part by part.
       Dm             E7        Am
Doing mitzvos, adding precious stones.
                  Dm           E
Our dream, our palace, Yerushalayim our home.
            F                   G               Am
Yes There's is a dream a vision deep within his heart.
             F                   G             Am
That he'll rebuild the Beis Hamikdash part by part.
      Dm               E7        Am
Doing mitzvos, adding precious stones.
                  Dm           E
Our dream, our palace, Yerushalayim our home.


[Outro]
Am              Am           Dm Am
Ani maamin, ani maamin, ani maamin.
