Cause we’ve still got a lot of light left in us Lost our temple, lost our home There's a candle burning in our soul We still believe Yeah we still believe We fought to win and we'll fight again Til the fight for rights comes to an end We'll change the world Come together girls So on this Chanukah day We join in song to reclaim The song we sang throughout all time Together our voices rise CHORUS: This is our light song Fight for our rights song To save our lives song Our powers turned up Maccabees we are strong We'll shout our light song And our voices will rise up to the mountain tops Cause we've still got a lot of light left in us BRIDGE: I’ve still got a lot of light left in me 7x Maoz Tzur Yishuati Licha Naeh Lishabeach We’ve still got a lot of light left in us The broken glass Of our temple Just enough oil To last for one day But how a single flame Could shine on for eight nights We might only have one lamp But our voices can ignite This is our light song To do what's right song To save more lives song Our powers turned up MACCABABES we are strong We’ll sing our light song And our voices will rise And our word broke their sword When our own strength failed us 2x This is our light song To do what’s right song To save more lives song Our powers turned up MACCABABES we are strong We’ll sing our light song And we’re gonna keep climbing up to the mountain tops And they can’t keep us down cause you know we can’t be stopped Cause we’ve still got a lot of light left in us Cause we’ve still got a lot of light left in us Repeat chorus: This is our light song To do what’s right song To save more lives song Our powers turned up Maccabes we are strong We’ll sing our light song And we’re gonna keep climbing up to the mountain tops And they can’t keep us down cause you know we can’t be stopped Cause we’ve still got a lot of light left in us.
