Another Chanukah, Another Year
The ghost of
Chanukah past
Yes, Chanukah past with
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 send out this ode
to you, friends
In the hope we can
take some solace
from watching
candles burn
candles burn
candles burn
