Music and Lyrics by Ben R.:

Gonna shine tonight
Dreamin of freedom, ready to fight
Searchin’ for the light
Makin’ it last for eight crazy nights

Throw back the darkness
Turn on the lights
We gonna show the world tonight
Fires of freedom
Burnin’ real bright tonight
Woh oh oh oh!

Light up the night, beat back the shadows
Knowin’ the world’s gonna light up for you
Light up the night, dance till the morning
Spinnin’ it up, Wo oh oh oh!

Headin’ out a’ sight
Got my Menorah, set to ignite
At the speed of light
Chasing my dreams, about to take flight

Throw back the darkness
Turn on the lights
We gonna show the world tonight
Fires of freedom
Blazin’ real bright tonight
Woh oh oh oh!

Light up the night, beat back the shadows

Knowin’ the world’s gonna light up for you
Light up the night, dance till the morning
Spinnin’ it up, Wo oh oh oh!

For just eight nights,
Gather together
Glimmers of those
Who light up your life

For just eight nights
Gaze up in wonder
Al Hanissim
Ve al hapurkan!

Al Hanissim, Al Hapurkan (For the miracles and for the salvation)
Yamim Hahem, Bazman Hazeh (In those days, at this time)
Al Hanissim, Al Hapurkan
Yamim Hahem, Bazman Hazeh

All I need, One little light
Gonna chase, Darkness away
All I need, One little light
Gonna chase, Darkness away

Al Hanissim Ve al Hapurkan
Yamim Ha hem Bazman Hazeh
All I need is one little light
Gonna chase this darkness away

Light up the night, beat back the shadows
Knowin’ the world’s gonna light up for you
Light up the night, dance till the morning
Spinnin’ it up, Spinin’ it down!

Light up the night, beat back the shadows
Knowin’ the world’s gonna light up for you
Light up the night, dance till the morning
Spinnin’ it up, All night long!
