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 the world

(light a heart or two)

light a heart or two

light a candle for me

i'll light a candle for you (I will)

light a candle (oh, I will)

light the dark ( because everybody needs a light)

light the world 

light a heart or two (ohhh)
