I give thanks to the Divine  
for its wine  
and give doubly for the bread  
in their stead  
and the candles that I light  
a delight  
mother welcomed the Shabbat  
challah cut

That's the story of my youth  
tends to sooth  
I shall never say goodbye  
will not try  
I give thanks to the Divine  
for its wine  
and give doubly for the bread

in their stead
