Peter, Paul & Mary - Light One Candle Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Light one candle for the maccabee children
  • With thanks that their light didnt die
  • Light one candle for the pain they endured
  • When their right to exist was denied
  • Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice
  • Justice and freedom demand
  • But light one candle for the wisdom to know
  • When the peacemakers time is at hand
  • Chorus:
  • Dont let the light go out!
  • Its lasted for so many years!
  • Dont let the light go out!
  • Let it shine through our love and our tears.
  • Light one candle for the strength that we need
  • To never become our own foe
  • And light one candle for those who are suffering
  • Pain we learned so long ago
  • Light one candle for all we believe in
  • That anger not tear us apart
  • And light one candle to find us together
  • With peace as the song in our hearts
  • (chorus)
  • What is the memory thats valued so highly
  • That we keep it alive in that flame?
  • Whats the commitment to those who have died
  • That we cry out theyve not died in vain?
  • We have come this far always believing
  • That justice would somehow prevail
  • This is the burden, this is the promise
  • This is why we will not fail!
  • (chorus)
  • Dont let the light go out!
  • Dont let the light go out!
  • Dont let the light go out!
