Another Chanukah, Another Year
The ghost of Chanukah past
haunts me
Yes, Chanukah past
candles burning, candles burning
In battle with deadly foes
Our people continue to exist
The ghost of Chanukah past
haunts me
Remembering tales of revolutions
and murderers
The ghost of Chanukah past
The ghosts of New York, Russia and Jerusalem
haunt me
So I read this ode to you friends
In the hope we can take some joy
from watching candles slowly burn
from watching candles slowly burn
