Lyrics Hanukkah Blessings - Barenaked Ladies

Hanukkah Blessings

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 Elohaynu Melekh h’olom
Asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu
L’hadlik nehr shel hannukah
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
Elohaynu Melekh ha’olom
She’asah neesim l’avotaynu
Bayamim hahem ba’zman hazeh
Hanukkah
Hanukkah
