I’m a Fighter, Lamplighter

I’ve got my torch lit with fire

Lighting lamps on darkened streets

I’ll light ’em brighter and brighter

Until they shine like me

Bridge:

I’m shining my light

I feel it in the air

I’m shining my light

I see Moshiach’s here 2x

Chorus:

I’m a fighter, Lamplighter

All the time.

I’m a fighter, Lamplighter

כל זמן ומקום.

Though I’m just one light,

I ignite all that’s around.

I’ll hold my torch up high,

It’s who I am, and I am proud. 2x

I’ll take it down to the desert

Bring it out to the sea

My flame’s alive through all weathers

Nothing will change me

Chorus, Bridge.
