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
