My friend Rabbi Randy Fleisher requested a musical version of "Yotzair Or" (Creator of Light)-- a prayer from the Jewish morning worship liturgy, that meditates on the concept of light and darkness — and all things in between.

lyrics

To the light, here’s to the light, fly to the light
To the light, straight to the light, fly to the light
Mah rabu ma’asecha Yah….

Shiny, shiny, shiny, tantalizing treasure
Precious as a flame to a moth
Teach me how to love the glow
Without diving for the diamonds in the lava flow
Everyone and everything will always go

To the light, here’s to the light, fly to the light
To the light, straight to the light, fly to the light
Mah rabu ma’asecha Yah….

Glory glory glory, radiating wonder
Rising like a blaze in the east
Once again I get to learn
Not to lean so hard your sweet caress begins to burn
Dancing in between the two as we return

To the light, here’s to the light, fly to the light
To the light, straight to the light, fly to the light
Mah rabu ma’asecha Yah ….

Tiny, tiny, tiny, scintillating ember
Sparking like a song at your core
Sing me secret northern star
Shining from the shadows of this broken heart
Lifting through the narrows in a perfect arc

To the light, here’s to the light, fly to the light
To the light, straight to the light, fly to the light
Mah rabu ma’asecha Yah ….
