Song Lyrics:
So many years ago they tried to stop us
From Torah learning yeah they tried to rob us
And we found ourselves searching
For a bit of oil that would light up
And by a miracle eight days didn’t dry up
And we found ourselves yearning
For the light…
For what’s right
Take away the night
With the light
Gotta fight
All your might
‘Cuz you can ignite
With Torah’s light
In the middle of a time so dark now
winds are blowing everwhere I go now
And I find myself searching
There’s an ancient wisdom that I know now
Lights up inside of me though I don’t know how
And I find myself yearning
Chanukah is the time for the Torah`s light
Chanukah is the time to do what`s right
Song message:
The light of Chanukah is the light of the Torah, whose eternal teachings still light up our lives to this day. The attribute of loving kindness is focused on here, with the sefer “Ahavas Chesed” of the Chofetz Chaim being the inspiration for loving acts of kindness.
