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, Eloheinu
Melekh h'olam
Asher kid'shanu
B'mitz'votav v'tzivanu
L'hadlik nehr shel Hanukkah

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
Eloheinu Melekh h'olam
She'asah neesim l'avotaynu
bayamim hahem ba'zman hazeh

Hanukkah
Hanukkah
