Barenaked Ladies – Hanukkah Blessing lyrics

how lucky are we that we
have light so that we can see
although the day is done

what a miracle that a spark
lifts these candles out of the dark
every evening one by one
until the end of hanukah
of hanukah

with the jingle bells and the toys
and the tv shows and the noise
its easy to forget
at the end of the day
i hope that family will say
these words for hanukah

baruch atah adonai eloheinu
melech haolam
asher kidshanu bimitzvotav vitzivanu
l'hadlich ner shel hanukah

we light the candles for hanukah
for hanukah

we remember how maccabees
fought so all of us could be free
and so we celebrate
on this festival of the lights
there's a joyful time every night
when we illuminate
the candles of hanukah
of hanukah

baruch atah adonai eloheinu
melech haolam
she asah nisim l'avoteinu
bayamim hahem bazman hazeh

hanukah...hanukah....
