Lyrics
A Miracle Happened
Lyrics by Robin Paglia-Dennis
Music by Robin Paglia-Dennis and Victoria Milner
Nes gadol haya sham
A miracle happened there
A flickering light lasted eight nights
A miracle happened there
Nes gadol haya sham
A miracle happened there
Brave men and women gave their lives
To keep the Jewish hope alive
A miracle happened there
Everyday we keep the faith
A Jewish light does shine
A thousand years of candlelight
Reflect in every eye
Nes gadol haya po
A miracle happened here
Each time we sang a Jewish song
Taught from the Torah
Righted a wrong
Created a place where children belong
A miracle happened here
