(Verse 1) The sun dips low, a winter's gloom, eight candles wait within the room. A single flame, a hopeful start, a promise held within the heart. The Maccabees, a story old, a bravery in silver and goldddd. They fought for light, they fought for truth, a legacy for all our youth. (A legacy for all our youth) (Chorus) Chag Sameach, turn the dreidel, a miracle on this night so sacred. Metal and klezmer, a powerful sound, as light and freedom all around! (Light and freedom all around) Eight nights we burn, a fiery glow, to let the world and heavens know! Chag Sameach! (Chag Sameach!) Let freedom grow! (Let freedom grow!) (Verse 2) First night we light the shamash bright, a guiding star, a holy light. The first one glows, a steady burn, for lessons that we've come to learn. We eat the latkes, sizzling hot, the memories that will not be forgot. The oil's story, rich and deep, a promise that we're here to keep. (A promise here to keep) (Chorus) Chag Sameach, turn the dreidel, a miracle on this night so sacred..(so scared!!) Metal and klezmer, a powerful sound, as light and freedom all aroundddddd! (Light and freedom all around) Eight nights we burn, a fiery glow, to let the world and heavens know! Chag Sameach! (Chag Sameach!) Let freedom grow! (Let freedom grow!) (Verse 3) Second night, the flames take hold, a story of the brave and bold. Third and fourth, the row expands, a beacon for all distant lands. Fifth, sixth, and seventh, all in line, a testament, a holy sign. (A holy sign) And on the eighth, the flames unite, a brilliant, shining, holy light! (A brilliant, holy light!) (Chorus) Chag Sameach, turn the dreidel, a miracle on this night so sacred. Metal and klezmer, a powerful sound, as light and freedom all around! (Light and freedom all around) Eight nights we burn, a fiery glow, to let the world and heavens know! Chag Sameach! (Chag Sameach!) Let freedom groooow!
