Biografia:
Safam, the Boston based six-man band, has dominated Jewish music in America with their "Jewish-American Sound" since 1974. Often copied, never duplicated, they are originals -- original music, original lyrics, original arrangements -- their songs have become a fabric of our Jewish lives. Songs like Leaving Mother Russia, Amnesty, Just Another Foreigner, Moranno and Nachamu Ami by group composers Joel Sussman and Robbie Solomon have become classics and have kept Safam at the forefront of the Jewish music scene.

[Verse]
Bm
They called me Anatole
A Em
In prison I did lie,
G D
My little window looked out
C Bm
On a Russian sky.
A Bm
For nearly nine long years
A Em G
Secluded and in pain
Bm G D
But all my people know
C Bm
The charges were a frame.
A Bm
See my accuser standing in the hall,
A Bm
He points his finger at us all.
G D
You now must pay the penalty
C Bm
For the crime of daring to be free.
[Chorus]
Em Bm
We are leaving Mother Russia,
Em A D Bm
We have waited far too long.
Em A Bm
We are leaving Mother Russia,
Bm A G Bm
When they come for us we’ll be gone.
[Verse]
Bm
For all those centuries
A Em
We called this land our home,
G D
We loved the Russian soil
C Bm
As much as anyone.
Bm
In countless armies
A Em
Our young boys have died for you,
G D C
But never did you call them “sons,”
Bm
You always called them “Jew”!
A Bm
We fell in battle for the Tsar,
A Bm
One hundred thousand died at Babi Yar,
G D G
And yet no monument will mark their grave,
D C Bm
Just on our passports the word “yevrai”.
Bm
I send my song of hope
A Em
To those I left behind
G D
I pray that they may know
C Bm
The freedom that is mine
Bm
For in my darkest hour
A Em
Alone inside my cell
G D
I kept the vision
C Bm
Of my home in Yisrael.
A Bm
My friends we know what silence brings,
A Bm
Another Hitler waiting in the wings,
G D
So stand up now and shout it to the sky,
C Bm
They may bring us to our knees but we’ll never die!
[Chorus]
Em Bm
We are leaving Mother Russia,
Em A D Bm
We have waited far too long.
Em A Bm
We are leaving Mother Russia,
