I strike the match and watch the flame ignite
The glow is soft, pretty and bright
I wave my hands over my eyes
And ask Hashem that I hear no cries
As I watch the beautiful flames flicker
Faster, lower, higher, quicker
And so I ask the One Above
To bring back down those who we love
Anu Rotzim Moshiach Achshav!
