Light a Candle

PLAY SONG

Light a candle
Keep it burning low
Light a candle
For everyone you know

There are so many people’s faces that seldom shine
So many people who’ve been left behind
So many people looking for a way to live
With peace and joy, peace and joy

Light a candle
To get through the night
Light a candle
To keep hope in sight

There are so many people’s faces that seldom shine
So many people who’ve been left behind
So many people looking for a way to live
With peace and joy, peace and joy

Chorus

Light a candle
Light a candle
For yourself
And everyone else
Light a candle
Light a candle
For yourself
And everyone else

Light a candle
Lift it to the sky
Light a candle
For every passerby

There are so many people’s faces that seldom shine
So many people who’ve been left behind
So many people looking for a way to live
With peace and joy, peace and joy
