Suddenly from the dark Comes my Shabbos, my spark And its holiness lights up my soul It's a treasure that makes me feel whole And my spirit soars because my heart feels at home
And on each Friday night I can close my eyes tight I can picture it so vividly I can taste the geula so sweet It's the taam gan eden my neshama seeks
Chorus: And as long as klal yisrael keeps the Shabbos Very soon Hashem will also keep his promise And on that day the candles cast their glow We'll be on our way back home To Yerushalayim
Im atem meshamrim neiros shel Shabbos Im atem meshamrim neiros shel Shabbos Ani, ani mar'eh lachem Ani mar'eh lachem Neiros shel tzion
