The Shabbos Candles (שיר)
מילים: ירחמיאל ביגון
We'll walk to Shul for Lecho Dodi
So sure that all will be fine
Though aware of our fragility
Well say a Bracha on the Shabbos wine
We'll sit around on that Friday night
The songs of Shabbos we'll sing
With an eye on the time under the candles light
We wander what surprise it will bring
CHORUS:
And when the clock strikes twelve
And the lights out
Will we sit silently in our seats
Will fear set in?
Will violence win?
With darkness in the streets -
We'll still have the light of the Shabbos candles.
They call it Y@K - the experts say
We'll all be confind to a room
Will the world stay still?
They said it will
Bringing sadness, hartache and doom
We'll still have the light of the Shabbos candles.
So no matter what misfortunes arrives
the massage for us is clear
We have one constant in our lives
No reason for worry or fear
The Torah's light is here to stay
It kept us safe for so long
Perhaps this Shabbos came out on this day
To teach us our faith must be strong.
CHORUS
