Ora Bear, You Shine

Verse 1 Ten candles glowing in your smile, Ten years lighting every mile, You walk in quiet — then somehow The whole room turns to look at you now. A little shy but strong inside, A gymnast heart with fearless stride, You flip, you land, you stick the floor — And somehow still we want you more. You ask the questions no one dares, You notice things nobody shares, You care in ways beyond your years — With silly laughs and brilliant gears. Pre-Chorus Ora… you don’t even see it yet, But every room you enter is brighter. Ora… the world’s not ready, For how much stronger you’ll grow, how much lighter. Chorus Ora Bear, you shine, you shine, Like Chanukah flames in perfect line, Like Purim joy that can’t sit still, Like a heart that always will. Ora Bear, you glow, you glow, Even when you’re moving slow, Smart and silly, fierce and kind — Light like yours is hard to find. Verse 2 Roblox worlds and Dandy dreams, Leveling up in 99 schemes, You love to win — and yes, you do — But more than that, you play it true. Simcha tries to keep your pace, Hadassah follows every trace, They look at you like you’re the guide — Big sister glow they can’t hide. You stretch, you spin, you rise above, Balancing strength with Torah love, And when you laugh the whole house hears A sound that carries through the years. Pre-Chorus Ora… you’re more than sparkle and spark, More than the games you conquer. Ora… there’s depth in your questions, A wisdom already stronger. Chorus Ora Bear, you shine, you shine, Like golden crowns and grapevine wine, Like holiday songs that never fade, Like promises already made. Ora Bear, you glow, you glow, Braver than you even know, Strong in body, sharp in mind — A rare design, one of a kind. Bridge (Dance Drop – playful & proud) Flip the world like you flip the mat, Land on your feet — imagine that. Quiet power, hidden flame, You don’t need noise to win the game. Light doesn’t shout — it simply is. That’s what your superpower is. Years from now when you rewind, You’ll see this truth we see in time. Final Chorus (Bigger, fuller) Ora Bear, you shine, you shine, Past the moment, past the time, Past the games and growing days, Past the childhood birthday blaze. Ora Bear, you glow, you glow, And we just want you always to know — No matter how tall you grow to be, You’ll always be this light to me. Outro (Soft, heartfelt – parent voice) Ten years in — And already bright. My little bear, My living light. Happy birthday, Ora.
