Biglal Haneiros Hallolu - Shlomo Carlebach

Every question you ever ask is the Gemara's question: Mai Chanukah?

Lulay soiroscha into Haneiros Hallolu TTTO B'shem Hashem followed by Biglal Avos. This is to say: When the Torah (Haneiros Hallolu) is studied without the Nosein Hatorah in mind, at least zchus avoseinu toshia. Or something.

I can't remember offhand how the story begins, but the song that comes to mind is Vho'er eineinu from birchos krias shema. He tells of composing it at the bedside of an Israeli soldier blinded in the Yom Kippur War.

I'll bl"n look for it later...
