Lyrics:
You’re on the phone with your Bubby she’s upset
She’s wondering why you haven’t lit your candles yet
Cause she’s waited all day long just to see you

We’re in the room – not a typical Tuesday night
We’re setting up all of the candles we’re gonna light
We start to tell the story in Hebrew

Al hanisim v’al ha’purkan
Spin the dreidel – nes gadol haya sham
Mi chamocha – our faith is defined
By a miracle that would last for all time

If you could see the latkes frying in the oil
Taste sufganiyot filled with jelly
Come and light with me
You can light with me

Antiochus issued multiple decrees
He wanted us to do everything like the Greeks
Saw the army of the Jews – they were really few
Said: “This’ll be easy!”

But Judah and his crew wouldn’t bow to that man’s crown
Beat all the Greeks and then they knocked their idols down
Destroy our faith? – You know we’re better than that
We won’t be bullied by an autocrat

We searched for pitchers that weren’t defiled
The holy space had become pretty wild
Rededicate ourselves in a way that’s sublime
‘Cause what we’re looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see the latkes frying in the oil
Taste sufganiyot filled with jelly
Come and light with me

Candle lights are glowing in the window
Share a sign of hope for all to see
Come and light with me
You can light with me

Oh, I think about
The forces in the dark, extinguishing our light
I give my gratitude, to those fighting for what’s right
I won’t let what is wrong interfere with all my dreams
Feeling pride where I belong cause I know what it means

If you could see the latkes frying in the oil
Taste sufganiyot filled with jelly
Come and light with me

Candle lights are glowing in the window
Share a sign of hope for all to see
Come and light with me
You can light with me

You can light with me
Connect with our history
You can light with me
You can light with me
