Night of Eight Candles

()
2003-12-01
G. Pultz
What are these nights, What do they mean
Family and Friends, No in between
Grateful to be, Alive and free
It's time to think and speak, Of history

Chorus
It's the night of eight candles
A feast of Dedication
The light of these candles
Is passed thru generations
It's the night of eight candles
A mantle of tradition
In the light of this festival
For freedom's celebration

In stories told, We learn they stood
The few were bold, The fight they could
Faith over fear, Trust in the right
Their strength is here, So is their light

Chorus

With choices clear, What do you choose
Challenges near, And much to lose
Heroic deeds, But heroes die
Do you stand up and speak
Or do you hide
