Does anyone now a web-site with all the famous songs - I need words to all the songs, like Miami, Avraham fried etc

It was posted here a while ago, but I can't find it

Thanks for reminding me... sorry to take this a little off topic... but does anyone know the missing words to this little kid's song?:
L'maalah, L'maalah, _____, ______, L'sgor V'Lftoach, L'sgor V'Lftoach

(it's sung while doing the motions w/ hands. translation: up, up, ...., close and open, close and open)
I'm guessing it's L'matah (down), but that just doesn't sound right.

Hatzidah, hatzidah (to the side).

How about the words to "One Peaceful Friday Night"?

one peaceful friday night
the table decked in white
the gloom and darkness of golus
seem lost in the candles light

with z'miros and learning
and bright candles burning
my weekly nechama
lifts up my neshama

for shabbos hayom l'Hashem
we are so different from them
we raise up our voices
the whole world rejoices

Hashem elokeinu shema koleinu
with zeal and desire
each week we strive
to keep this tradition alive.

because we're an am segulah
an am of Torah and kedusha
if only we'd all keep the shabbos
we'd surely see the geulah.

Thanks for the words, but I think there are a couple more stanzas. Anyone?

LOL. Of course that's the tape that is missing the case. This is what I know off by heart. They have a website that is under construction, but an email address too. Maybe they can help you - ybandmiami@aol.com

The scene was set back when
Agroup of fearless men
Stood up for their beliefs & risked their lives
They acted with 1 voice
They firmly made a choice
----------------------- that it survived

Then there's another stanza & then

1-2-3-4-5678
Light up the nights
the candles burning bright
On the festival of lights
Here on Chanukah
Our nation as a whole
Can reach their common goal
With the fire in their soul
The light of Chanukah

Which Racheim? Or just the words?

Racheim Nah Hashem elokeinu Al Yisroel Amecha Ve'al Yerushalyim Eerecha
Ve'al Tzion Mishkan Kevodecha. Ve'al Malchus Beis Dovid Meshichecha. Ve'al Habayis Hagodol Vehakodosh.

Light up the Nights!

The scene was set back when
A group of fearless men
Stood up for their beliefs & risked their lives
They acted with 1 voice
They firmly made a choice
this nation be ensured that it survived

there prayers were answered each day
there minds fixed on their destination
through victory they made thier way
no longer deprived
at last they arrived
to a miracle lasting for all generations

1-2-3-4-5678
Light up the nights
the candles burning bright
On the festival of lights
Here on Chanukah
Our nation as a whole
Can reach their common goal
With the fire in their soul
The light of Chanukah

we face the daunting task one that we cannot mask
our danger just as real as it was then (light up the nights)
we stand w\ open eyes to hear our brothers' cries
our courage now is needed once again

lets carry our banner w\ pride
for its freedom how long we have waited
through history torahs our guide (?)
if we stand as one
it can be undone
just think of the wonders that can be created

1-2-3-4-5678...............
