We learned that
Weak ones will prevail
How few can beat the many
We learned that
Miracles appear
Don’t say there won’t be any
And holy will
Defeat impure
And righteous over evil
And that we will
Rededicate
Despite all the upheaval
Chanukah
Is not just games
And treats for girls and boys
It’s more than latkes
Or fried dough
And lots of gelt and toys
No, Chanukah’s
The time to think
And praise Hashem for all
Deep-rooted in
The menorah
18 tefachim tall
Titus may have
Stolen it
But he just took the gold
But we still bear
The holy flame
Lit back from days of old
It’s all about
A little light
Whose holiness did shine
And still continues
To burn bright
Its message so divine
That no one can
Extinguish what
We believe and cherish
And like that flame
We are the same
We’ll shine and never perish
