Lyrics:
On eight winter nights we light
The lights on the menorah
Together with millions of our people everywhere
In spite of the darkness we light
The lights on the menorah
Knowing the dark doesn't hold a candle to our prayers

We light the lights
Warming up the whole wide world all over
We light and we heal each broken heart
We light tonight
Singing out our favorite songs together
And for a moment we see
We're not so far apart

There have been times of danger
When we couldn't learn our Torah
When they tried to make our spirit disappear
So eight nights a year we light
The lights on the menorah
Showing the promise of our Torah perseveres

And for a moment hope is not so far away
As long as we light we're getting closer everyday

We can be sure the flame will never disappear
Because we will light again this very time next year

Judah Macabee showed us why
The source of our flame will never die
In spite of the odds we're making it clear
A great miracle's happening here

Like a flask of oil forever burning
Around the world we'll never stop learning
We've taken our punches and stood our ground
There ain't no way of slowin' us down
