"Esther became the queen"

Purim song

Stand stand for a tale so grand

Shushan is the place where it all began

The hidden miracle

One man, second in command

Slay all the Jews was his wicked plan

A scheme so miserable

He chose a day for the disaster

It's ironic what came after

He didn't know a girl named Esther

Would turn it upside down

So raise your glass if you can see the hidden meaning,

it's right in front of you,

we will never be never be anything but proud to tell the story,

v'nahafoch hu (It was turned upside down)

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass

just come on and come on and raise your glass

Esther became the queen

Cuz' God was pulling strings from behind the scenes

She wore the royal crown

3 days the Jews just prayed,

Queen Esther risked her life went to save the day

She took Haman down

The streets were filled with celebration

Everyone ate Hamantashen

Jubilation for the nation

Ken tihiyeh lanu... (So should it be for us)

So raise your glass if you can see, the hidden meaning,

it's right in front of you,

we will never be never be anything but proud to tell the story,

v'nahafoch hu

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass

just come on and come on and raise your glass

So get your costumes on

Make noise and drown out Haman

Don't drink like a fool

And remember and remember

What the day's about...

So raise your glass if you see God in hidden places,

He's right in front of you,

We will never be never be anything but proud to tell our story

v'nahafoch hu

So raise your glass if you can see the hidden meaning,

it's right in front of you,

we will never be never be anything but proud to tell the story,

v'nahafoch hu

Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass

just come on and come on and raise your glass...
