Lyrics One Candle

One candle burning brightly
Might not seem much from afar
But take a closer look
‘Cause it’s shining like a star
One candle burning brightly
Might be what we need to see
How shadows try to hide
What we can really be

Make a difference to the darkness
Shine your light to show the world
We can make a better place
For every boy and girl
Light a candle for your neighbour
Say you’re not afraid to sing
Together we can share in what
A little love can bring

One candle burning brightly
Tightly held by one so small
Staring in amazement
At the wonder of it all
One candle burning brightly
Might be what we have to hold
To know that sometimes simple things
Are worth much more than gold

One candle burning brightly
Could ignite a thousand more
‘Til suddenly we realize
We’re not angry anymore
If those candles burning brightly
Stopped the fighting and the fear
The love we give at Christmas
Would last throughout the year
