Once was an evil man
who began to feel love
heart opened like a flower
and received blessings from above
It became an extraordinary thing
and great story to tell
all about Yochanan the priest
who inhabited body from hell
All the mitzvoth he fulfilled
helped to elevate from lowly place
the body of Elazar ben Durdaya
so light shined from face
Know once and a while
great souls must be returned
hidden from the other side
so more merits can be earned
So when look at others
what do you really see
the husk of the serpent
or what inside might be?
