Barenaked Ladies - Hanukkah Blessings lyrics

How lucky are we that we
Have lights 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 Hanukkah of Hanukkah

With the jingle bells and the toys
And the TV shows and the noise
It’s easy to forget at the end of the day
Our whole family will say
These words for Hanukkah:

Barukh Atah adonai Elohaynu Melekh h'olom
Asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu
L'hadlik nehr shel hannukah
We light the candles for Hanukkah
For Hanukkah

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
Where we illuminate the candles of Hanukkah
Of Hanukkah

Barukh atah adonai elohaynu Melekh ha’olom
She'asah neesim l’avotaynu
Bayamim hahem ba'zman hazeh hanukkah
Hanukkah
