Story Behind The Song
I hate playing "standard Chanukah fare" because it is so pedantic and annoyingly simplistic. It was time to get something new, upbeat and substantive into the mix. Hope you like it.
Song Description
We have been desperately in need of a new CHANUKAH song! Dreidles and potato pancakes really don't speak to the meaning of Chanukah. It's all about light!

Lyrics
Night by night, got to spread some light to the darkest parts of the world
Night by night, what a beautiful sight. Miracles shine so bright night by night
Seeking out the holy-none could be found
Temple left in ruins, spirits were down
And by our swords lay all our broken hearts
We lit a flame and prayed for a new start
Night by night....
There are those who wake us from our sleep
We know their pain and hear them when they weep
Their story's ours. Let's not forget our past.
Rededicate ourselves to dreams held fast
Night by night...
Who can retell the things that befell us? (Night by night)
Who can recall the woes that we shared? (night by night)
You can be the hero that takes on the fight
And show that there are people who still care.
Night by night....
When we all do what's right, praying with all our might
watching our souls take flight, miracles shine so bright
We're gonna spread some light night by night
