[HANASHIR:13905] Song about light

[Cantors Brad and Ilana Hyman <chazanim...>]

I have a song called "The Spark" which is all about
the light within us all. It started out as a "modern
Chanukah piece" but you can use it as you see fit
(i.e. Jewish-American story, Kabbalistic message,
tikun olam). Here are the lyrics, and I'd be happy to
send an MP3 to those who are interested.

"The Spark" 2001 by Brad Hyman

He came to America 
in the belly of a boat from Romania
Left behind the horse and the cart
Found some people who could help him out
Chase the fears and remove the doubt
Put some hope inside of his heart
     All throught the lonely nights
     His mind wandered, his soul took flight
     Rising higher up, ever higher up
     To a place where the world looked small
     His family there, he could see them all
     Reminding him how a good person lives their life

Chorus:Always toward the light
       The light that moves us all
       Make your mother proud, 
       help your father to stand tall
       Show them how to love
       To love without end
       Help them to see the spark from within.

Thirty years walkin' down that road
His face got long and his eyes looked old
This town claims all in the end
Found a wife, made a family
Tried to own all that he could see
Forgot almost all his friends
      Even the good at heart
      Forget their humble start
      We want them back, please bring them back
      To a place where the world looks small
      His family there, he could see them all
      Reminding him how a good person lives their life

Chorus...

      Make them whole again
      Help them heal the world
      Let them see the love inside each boy and girl
      Show them how to love
      To love without end
      Help them to see the spark from within
      Help them to see the spark from within
