lyrics

Said to a father from his son
"why do we light a candle for all eight nights?"
"Because we have a battle in our hearts"
Said the father as he recalls that great time

Judah the hammer had to see
the glory of the temple be redeemed
but the oil used for this cleansing rite
there was only enough for the night!

Eight days of victory, this story that we tell
is a tribute to the men who saved us from this hell
The stench of pigs at the Altar of Zeus
Was cleansed by this miracle which showed us all His truth

A father looks towards his son with pride
As he lights the candle on this first night
He does so not just for himself
But for all the Jews who died for his right

Judah the hammer had a dream
for his people to worship as they pleased
As we celebrate on Hanukkah night
we honor the glory of his fight!

Eight days of victory, this story that we tell
is a tribute to the men who saved us from this hell
The stench of pigs at the Altar of Zeus
Was cleansed by this miracle which showed us all His truth

The miracle that occurred at the Temple that night
Was a triumph that all Jews carry with them in their lives
When times become their hardest and it seems all hope is gone
We remember that He will provide as our spirit carries on

Eight days of victory, this story that we tell
is a tribute to the men who saved us from this hell
The stench of pigs at the Altar of Zeus
Was cleansed by this miracle which showed us all His truth
