Eight Candles

Malvina Reynolds

Eight candles shine for the Maccabees
Eight candles shine for the Maccabees
Down from the mountains with Liberty's sword
They came like the flame of the Lord

Dance the horah
Light the menorah
This is the time of joy
The road to freedom we take today
With the Maccabees leading the way

Eight candles shine for the Maccabees
Eight candles shine for the Maccabees
The tyrant was routed with all of his men
And the temple made holy again

Dance the horah
Light the menorah
This is the time of joy
The road to freedom we take today
With the Maccabees leading the way

Eight candles shine for the Maccabees
Eight candles shine for the Maccabees
Hanukah's children will never forget
The glory that shines for us yet

Dance the horah
Light the menorah
This is the time of joy
The road to freedom we take today
With the Maccabees leading the way
