Light a Candle

Light a candle for the old man who sits staring
Out a frosty windowpane
Light a candle for the woman who is lonely

And every Christmas is the same
For the children who need
More than presents can bring

Light a candle, light the dark
Light the world, light a heart or two
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you

Light a candle for the homeless and the hungry
A little shelter from the cold
Light a candle for the broken and forgotten

May the season warm their souls
Can we open our hearts
To shine through the dark

Light a candle, light the dark
Light the world, light a heart or two
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you

And in this special time of year
May peace on earth surround us here
And teach us there's a better way to live

And with every
(Every)
Flame that burns, we must somehow learn
That love's the greatest gift
That we could ever give

Light a candle, light the dark
Light the world, light a heart or two
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you

Light a candle, light the dark
Light the world, light a heart or two
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you

Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you
