A parody of “Raise Your Glass” by P!nk, this high-energy music video features The Fountainheads singing a fun, empowering song about the story of Purim and the courage it takes to do the right thing. The Fountainheads is an all-volunteer, student-led artistic project, led by young Israeli singers, dancers, and musicians, all students of the Ein Prat Academy for Leadership, who have joined forces to create new Jewish artistic content for today’s Jewish world. The lyrics can be seen below.
Raise Your Mask
Here comes the story of Purim
and it goes a little something like this.
Persian king lookin’ for a queen
Prettiest girl you’ve ever seen
Esther wins, Yo
Haman’s evil, fools the king
«Bow to me, y’all dig my ring»
Jews don’t go so low
Evil master, getting nast’ier
Planning for a big disaster
Jews are worried, what’s the story
Mordechai sacks his clothes
So raise your mask if you are brave in all the right ways
Show your hidden face.
We will never be never be
Anything but true and always straight up, bold and fearless Jews
Won’t you come on and come on and make some noise
Just come on and come and stamp your feet
Won’t you come on and come on and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your mask… with me
I can do this, I’m not afraid. Ok, here goes…
Now it’s time to tell the King
And I’m takin’ back my ring
And my plans have all been blown
But we can always, we can always: party on our own.
Let me hear ya in Hebrew!
Layehudim Hayta Ora Vesimcha Vesason Veyikar
We will never be never be
Anything but true and always straight up, bold and fearless Jews
So raise your mask if you are brave in all the right ways
Show your hidden face.
We will never be never be
Anything but true and always straight up, bold and fearless Jews
Won’t you come on and come on and make some noise
Just come on and come and stamp your feet
Won’t you come on and come on and raise your glass
Just come on and come on and raise your mask… with me
