Miami Boys Choir - Light Up the Nights lyrics

The scene was set back when, A group of fearless men Stood up for their beliefs and risked their lives. They acted with one voice, and firmly made a choice, this nation be ensured, That it survive. Their prayers were answered each day, Their minds fixed on their destination, With victory they made their way, No longer deprived, At last they arrived, To a miracle lasting for all generations! 1, 2, 3, Fo-ur, 5, 6, 7, 8! CHORUS: Light up the nights! The candles burning bright, On the festival of lights, Here on Chanukah Our nation as a whole, Can reach a common goal With the fire in our souls, the light of Chanukah! 2nd time - Chorus We answer to one name, Our Heritage the same, The power of the flame, The light of Chanukah We face a daunting task, One that we cannot mask, A danger just as real as it was then. (Light up the nights!) Lets stand with open eyes, To hear our brothers cries And courage now is needed once again (Light up the nights!) Let's carry our banner with pride, For this freedom how long we have waited. With the words of the Torah our guide, If we stand as one, it can be undone, Just think of the wonders that can be created! 1, 2, 3, Fo-ur, 5, 6, 7, 8! CHORUS: Light up the nights! The candles burning bright, On the festival of lights, Here on Chanukah Our nation as a whole, Can reach a common goal With the fire in our souls, the light of Chanukah! We answer to one name, Our Heritage the same, The power of the flame, The light of Chanukah
