Finally Here
Ari Goldwag Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As he walked home from yeshiva,
a sound reached his ears
clear and majestic, unmistakably near
Joy filled his heart
HE'S FINALLY HERE!!! Moshiach's finally here!!!
He ran all the way home
said to his dad,
"Did you hear it - the shofar
or am I going mad?"
"Not now, my son,
can it wait 'til later, when the business news is done."

Where is our hope, our faith, our pride?
Where's the desire, the love deep inside?
When we say we want Ben Dovid to come
We can't fool ourselves or the Holy One.

She heard it, at first faintly
a note long and clear
steadily the sound grew
'til it was all she could hear
Joy filled her heart
HE'S FINALLY HERE!!! Moshiach's finally here!!!
She rushed to the kitchen,
got on the phone.
"Sister, can you hear it
or is it me alone?"
"Can you call back tonight?

When we finally hear the shofar
After all these many years
Our emotions can run deeply
moving us to tears
Joy will fill our hearts
WHEN HE'S FINALLY HERE!!! When Moshiach's finally here!!!
We must strengthen our hope, our faith, our pride.
We can find the desire, the love deep inside.




When we say we want Ben Dovid to come
We can reconnect to the Holy One.

Overall Meaning

The song "Finally Here" by Ari Goldwag is about the anticipation and eventual arrival of Moshiach, the Messiah in Jewish faith. The lyrics describe different individuals hearing the sound of the shofar, a traditional Jewish instrument made of a hollowed-out ram's horn and blown like a trumpet. For some, the sound is faint at first but grows louder and more joyous until it takes over their entire being, signaling the long-awaited arrival of Moshiach. The song emphasizes the importance of faith, hope, and love in preparing for Moshiach's arrival and reconnecting with the Holy One.


The lyrics convey the idea that the coming of Moshiach is not only a physical event but also an emotional and spiritual one, with the power to move people to tears and bring them together in joyful celebration. The song encourages listeners to focus on strengthening their relationship with God and the community in preparation for this momentous event. The refrain "Finally Here" reinforces the idea that Moshiach's arrival is not a matter of if, but when.
