There's A Light Lyrics

If ever there was laughter

If ever there was fun

If ever we spoke words and songs

If ever had begun

We'd be sitting all together

We'd be all as one that day

What we had once to ensure us

Were the hopes for which we'd pray

What minds can think

(We imagine how and when)

What hearts can yearn

(For our home we yearn again)

Once we had a posture

A home at which we'd stay

Be close to all the glory

Basked in love would stand and pray

But the days have wound to wonder

And the time has come untied

We were left with but a rubble heap

As with tears we said good bye

What hands could feel

(But a moment is it all)

If but to be

(We will answer hence the call)

There's a light that emits from the darkness does pour

It's the voice that commits and the heart that enthralls

In our eyes see the glory if our hearts see the cheer

It's the eight nights of light we surrender each year

In a world torn Asunder

In a time gone insane

We have lived and we've held

To uphold still the name

And the light shines through ages

And the signs can be shown

We are one with our maker

And are never alone

There's a light that emits from the darkness does pour

It's the voice that commits and the heart that enthralls

In our eyes see the glory if our hearts see the cheer

It's the eight nights of light we surrender each year

And though time does estrange

And our lives come to dwell

We are mystified daily

By the things we can't sell

It's the life we found waiting

It's the house we call home

If for but a quick moment

We can hear as we roam

There's a light that emits from the darkness does pour

It's the voice that commits and the heart that enthralls

In our eyes see the glory if our hearts see the cheer

It's the eight nights of light we surrender each year

And we'll stand by our fires

And we'll raise up our flames

To the one day when we won't

Be forced to be tame

When the world will then see you

That your name will be one

And nature will shudder as his glory will come

And I light now my candles

And the flame will ignite

As my voice raised in song

By the chanuka lights

And I light now my candles

And the flame will ignite

As my voice raised in song

By the chanuka lights
