Keep Burning On
When you think you’ve given all you have
When you think you’ve done everything you can
When you climb but can’t see the top
And the signs are all saying stop
When you’re down to your last drop, mmm
When your hope is almost gone
Keep burning on

When you feel the night will never pass
And you know the flame will never last
Then you look up into the sky
And you don’t know how but you know why
The well you thought was dry is full
And another dawn has come
It keeps burning on

There were miracles, miracles – don’t forget
Nes gadol hayah sham
Nes gadol hayah sham
Miracles – they can happen again
Light the candles in the window
I will do the same
From half a world away
And though we can’t be together this year
It’s a miracle–I can see your light from here

When the world is begging for a change
And it’s time to stand up and be brave
Let the emperors and kings
Hear just how loud a free voice sings
It echoes and it rings through time
There are battles still to be won
Keep burning on

There were miracles, miracles – don’t forget
Nes gadol hayah sham
Nes gadol hayah sham
Miracles – they can happen again
Light the candles in the window
I will do the same
From half a world away
And though we can’t be together this year
It’s a miracle–I can see your light from here

Keep burning on
Keep burning on

There were miracles, miracles – don’t forget
Nes gadol hayah sham
Nes gadol hayah sham
Miracles – they are happening again!
Light the candles in the window
I will do the same
From half a world away
And though we can’t be together this year
It’s a miracle–I can see your light from here
I can see your light from here

I can see your light from here

Why make an account?

Because why use any of your precious brain cells to remember where you kept those great readings that you’ll use someday at Jeffrey’s B Mitzvah? Make an account, keep the readings there. Easy peasy. The only thing you’ll need to remember is your password, and from personal experience that’s hard enough.
