Lyrics by Phillip Namanworth.
Music by Elliot Finkel.
Every year in Kislev
special energies return
for eight nights, we light the lights
and celebrate as they burn
Listen to the candles
hear them weave their spell
Listen to the candles
each flame has a story to tell
The flame of trust
in our holy connection
giving us courage to fight
The flame of hope
in our Heavenly Father
showing the way through the night
The flame of trust——–
trust
giving us courage to fight
The flame of hope——
hope
showing the way through the night
Listen to the candles
hear them weave their spell
Listen to the candles
each flame has a story to tell
The flame of love
binds us together
united throughout history
The flame of awe
keeping us humble
and teaching how great we can be
The flame of love——–
Love
united throughout history
The flame of awe——
awe
silently teaching
how little we are and how great we can be
Flames are drawn to each other
adding to the glow
one flame lights another
spreading joy wherever they go
The flame of freedom
illuminating
sparks in the darkest place
The flame of peace
inside and outside
transcending time and space
The flame of freedom—–
freedom
burns in the darkest place
The flame of peace——
the oneness of G-d
transcending time and space
Listen to the candles
hear them weave their spell
Listen to the candles
each flame has a story to tell
The flame of faith
whatever might happen
believing eternally
The flame of Soul
the menorah keeps burning
for you and for me
The flame of faith—–
Faith
believing eternally
The flame of soul——-
soul
the menorah keeps burning
the menorah keeps burning
for you and me
Miracles and wonders
light and salvation
heavens help and victory
Listen to the candles
hear them weave their spell
Listen to the candles
each flame has a story to tell
Listen to the candles
flaming in design
listen to the Chanukah candles
the story is yours and mine
