Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Light the Way Home (antiwar Hanukkah song
There's something to click at https://www.reverbnation.com/scheherezadeproject/song/10773288-light-the-way-home to hear 30 seconds of the song, but it doesn't work. Not sure I'd call it an antiwar song, but judge for yourselves from the lyrics there:
Light The Way Home- (c) Lori Nevias and The Scheherezade Project
Light one candle to shine through the night Shine back through the ages, your fathers did fight Your fathers and mothers did fight for their souls On this hanukah night all I think of is war
Light one candle for the maccabbees brave They knew what they stood for, by a miracle saved Outnumbered they fought and your heritage won Light one hanukah candle, just one
Chorus: Shine, shine, light the way home /This hanukah night all I think of is war Al hanisim, v'al kol gvurotainu [for all the miracles, and all our heroes]/ May all of our hanukah lights light their way home Shine, shine, light the way home / This hanukah night all I think of is war Al hanisim, v'al kol gvurotainu/ May all of our hanukah lights light their way home, Light their way home.
Light one candle this hanukah night/ To bring back our soldiers, how long must they fight Like maccabbee children, they're standing alone Light one hanukah candle to light their way home We're praying our miracles come true at last Like maccabbees praying our oil will last We're no maccabbee men, but like them fight alone Bring back all of our soldiers, we need them at home (chorus, 2X)
