A cheerful family song for Chanukah.

Lyrics

Season of the Light (A Song for Chanukah)

1-
This is the season of the light
Join in a song of praise
What are the candles telling us
As we see their glow ablaze?

2-
A miracle happened years ago
Look in the burning flames
One tiny drop of oil was left
And it lasted for eight days.
Chorus: Celebrate the glow of hope
This Chanukah we pray
In the season of the light
This joyous holiday!
3-
Once I received on Chanukah
My first real Jewish star
I can hear my mother say
Remember who you are.
Chorus: Celebrate the glow of hope
This Chanukah we pray
In the season of the light
This joyous holiday!

Bridge:
Festive displays in blue and white
Invite me to join in
Latkes fried in precious oil-
Let the dreidels spin!

4-
Gazing, as my menorah shines
Something is stirred in me-
I know the gifts and gelt are there
But it’s God alone I see.
Chorus: Celebrate the glow of hope
This Chanukah we pray
In the season of the light
This joyous holiday!

(Repeat Chorus 2X)
