The Maple Street Project: Music & Lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

There’s a light on the hill
In the distance there’s a light
There’s a light shining still
In the night
There’s a light on the hill
In the distance there’s a light
There’s a light shining still
In the night

There’s an army at the gate, there’s an army at the walls
They’re gathered at the gate and the walls
They set seige for seven days, for seven days we are beseiged
We’ve had hope for seven days, we’ve had hope

If we could persevere for just another day
If for one more day we could outlast the seige
And for one more day and night the lamp flickered in the breeze
Another night 'twas blazing in the breeze

And the oil in the lamps, had almost burned away
The lamps have almost burned for seven days
There’s a light on the hill. In the distance there’s a light
There’s a light shining still. In the night

So we light the lamp again, at this joyous time of year
To remember Judah & the Maccabees
For eight days we light the lamps. Eight days we light the lamps
To remember Judah and the Maccabees

There’s a light on the hill
In the distance there’s a light
There’s a light shining still
In the night
There’s a light on the hill
In the distance there’s a light
There’s a light shining still
In the night

There’s a light shining still
In the night
There’s a light shining still …
