Koolulam is a social-musical initiative aimed at strengthening the fabric of society. The project centers around mass singing events in which large groups of non-professionals come together to form a collaborative musical creation. Koolulam brings together people from all walks of life to do one thing: stop everything for a few hours and just sing – together.

Verse 1: 9 years old and a flickering flame Those are the moments I can’t explain Looking back I can feel the heat The warmth reflecting off my cheek
Verse 2: Settled down now its been so long Since I’ve seen them sing those songs Carries me through the days I feel That there’s nothing else that heals
Pre: Been through those ups and downs They called me lost and found But now I think I found myself In that flickering flame Oh, in that flickering flame
Chorus: Ooh oooh My mind fills with memories from youth Ooh oooh Just me and the flame but now I’m flickering too Looking back at Pictures on my shelf Times I felt my safest Times I felt myself Thinking back when There was no where to run I knew I had a purpose My life had just begun Just like the flame
Intro: Ooooh woah ohhh
Verse 3: Grown up now I’m on my way Driven by those flames Everytime I lose my sight I remember those guiding lights
Pre: Been through those ups and downs They called me lost and found But now I think I found myself In that flickering flame Oh, in that flickering flame
Chorus: Ooh oooh My mind fills with memories from youth Ooh oooh Just me and the flame but now I’m flickering too Looking back at Pictures on my shelf Times I felt my safest Times I felt myself Thinking back when There was no where to run I knew I had a purpose My life had just begun
Bridge: Some things things things you just can’t forget Brings us back back back back to ourselves Back to the good good good old days ‘Cause we’re all we’re all flickering flames
Chorus: Ooh oooh My mind fills with memories from youth Ooh oooh Just me and the flame but now I’m flickering too Looking back at Pictures on my shelf Times I felt my safest Times I felt myself Thinking back when There was no where to run I knew I had a purpose My life had just begun Just like the flame
Shabbat closes a painful week both here and abroad.
