Lyrics to the song:

Woke up and realized yesterday
Think it's a bummer end of the summer
Kinda nervous that we're almost there
At the days of awe

Prayers in a language that I don't know
Standing for hours and hours more
I wish that someone would please tell me-e-e-e
What it is we're praying for

Oh put me in the book of good life
I just wanna live the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, we've got feelings that we should fight
Make sure that we're choosing right
Gotta earn my own place in
The book of good life

Time for reflection on the past year
Time to figure out what we're doing here
Replace the guilt with inspiration
And everything is clear

Life in the present, the here and now
Easier than regret and planning out
Living in the moment, lasts for a moment
Got my future to think about

When you're sitting there in shul
Wishing it was over
You gotta take a beat
And let it all sink in

Oh put me in the book of good life
I just wanna live the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, we've got feelings that we should fight
Make sure that we're choosing right
Gotta earn my own place in
The book of good life

Hopefully
This year will bring us happiness and peace
Hopefully
Sensitivity to others will increase
Hopefully
We'll open our eyes and think more consciously
Cuz Hopefully
We'll go from where we are to where we want to be

Oh put me in the book of good life
I just wanna live the good life
This could really be a good life, good life

Say oh, we've got feelings that we should fight
Make sure that we're choosing right
Gotta earn my own place in
The book of good life

Oh yeah
Book of Good life
Ooh

Listen
Time for reflection on the past year
Time to figure out what we're doing here
Replace the guilt with inspiration
And everything is clear

Life in the present seems more fun
Easier than regret, what's done is done
Living in the moment, lasts for a moment
Shana Tova to everyone

Lyrics By: Immanuel Shalev and David Block

@dyeymow I agree with a lot of what you are saying... save: we (Christians) are grafted into the vine. Salvation came first to the Jews then to the Gentiles.

[andybsmith]

Hallelujah! very good to see God's people making HIS name know in all the Earth!

[smackthedevil17]

way to go guys i love this song!!!!

I think were both "Christians" on the same boat :) Righteousness & Grace is something God brings, and two of His many attributes. The "Law" is a product of God's righteousness and grace as well (not from moses). Paul as a Jew also told to the Philippians (2:12-16) to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. "Earning a place" should not be foreign in our Christian perspective as well. Judaism & Christians are just branches grew from the same root :)
