Chanukah Song

After the guns have been fired and later - the dead counted we remember the wars of long ago Who will hold up the flag of peace? When tired feet can no longer move Sitting and watching the candles burn lighting up the shadows The thickening smoke and fire remind us there is a dawn - after every night Wouldn't ask you to see what I see yet maybe you will in time soon the city will sleep Dream on people of the metropolis The festival continues Even as we slumber light in the corners of the endless galaxies Shines on , shines on , shines on !!!
