Song Honors The Friendship Circle

In honor of Friendship Circle Brooklyn’s This Is Me campaign, Crown Heights based singer-songwriter, Mendel Goldman, has released a heartfelt single featuring Menachem Weinstein.

The song, “Like Me,” captures the universal human struggle to find a place of belonging, connection and purpose; an echo of the soul’s voice seeking to express, and be cherished for, its unique mission.

“This song sprang from a very deep place,” explains Goldman. “We all know days when we want to be in someone else’s shoes; days we feel we aren’t good enough. But it’s specifically at these moments that we can tap into our soul-powers and rise strong.”

The song reflects Goldman’s personal connection to the work of Friendship Circle Brooklyn, as he says, “It is my joy and honor to dedicate this song to all the heroes of Friendship Circle, who have all done so much for my brother and for countless children with special needs around the world.”

The song is being released in the lead up to This Is Me—a 24 hour, matching funds campaign to continue providing inclusive, innovative and life-changing programming to the Brooklyn community.

Lyrics

You and I

Don’t look alike

But I can see

The fire in your eyes

Shining burning bright

We’re all different

The way we speak

And I can feel

The light inside

Your energy and smile

You fight

You’re strong

Nothing can bring you down

You got a special soul right inside

And all it takes is just one look your way

To realize why you say

Tell em…….

There ‘aint nobody like me

I got a special soul got my unique role

My fires burning brighter to help me with my goal

Reaching for the stars I don’t see the negativity

Unlocking my potential discover my ability

Unconditional love is all I need direct rain from above to water my seed

I’m different I’m different but yeah i got my mission

So help me raise my sails and watch my expedition

You fight

You’re strong

Nothing can bring you down

You got a special soul right inside

And all it takes is just one look your way

To realize why you say

Tell em…….

There ‘aint nobody like me
