what is this lyric meaning? Ofra Haza- show me

Show me, show me

Sitting around the table
Learning the lesson of years
So far away in heaven
Someone is shedding a tear

Nobody knows, nobody knows
Who will pay, who will stay another day

Show me, show me the light
Open the door
Tell me, tell me I'm right
Show me some more

Dancing around the table
Watching the candles light up
Feeling the fire inside me
Moving my lips to the cup

Everyone knows, everyone knows
When they pay, they will stay another day

Show me, show me the light
Open the door
Hold me, hold me so tight
Leave me no more

Im en ani li mi li mi li
Im en ani li mi li mi

Show me, show me the light
Open the door
Tell me, tell me I'm right
Show me some more

Show me, show me the light
Open the door
Hold me, hold me so tight
Leave me no more

Im en ani li mi li mi li
Im en ani li mi li mi
Im en ani li mi li mi li



I didnt understand this song.it talk about heaven,but then it ask something about payment and staying.does the writer say about rent a heaven?I really confused
Im Ayn Ani Li Mi Li I google means. If I am not for me who will be?
this one made more confusion

share me ur tought

Hmm...this song is really about living the life to fullest as this journey can end anytime. Its also about sharing and enjoying love with others. Listening to elders. I love Ofra's music. This song and the album was made for European \Us listeners. Its beautifly made and they implemented many middle eastern elements into the song.

what do you mean by living the life to fullest?

I still didnt get it. I will try to interpret as best as I can and help me to find hidden meanings that I didnt get..

Sitting around the table
Learning the lesson of years
So far away in heaven
Someone is shedding a tear

Nobody knows, nobody knows
Who will pay, who will stay another day

what is "lesson of years"? Maybe this part is what you say about learning from elders. but I didnt see any relation between first 2 sentence and 2 sentence after that. shes learning lesson and somebody crying from heaven. the last 2 part talk about paying which I dont understand

Dancing around the table
Watching the candles light up

Moving my lips to the cup

Everyone knows, everyone knows

Show me, show me the light
Open the door
Hold me, hold me so tight
Leave me no more
