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 eyes
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
Light a candle (oh yea)
Light the dark (everybody needs a light)
Light the world
Light a heart or two
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you
Light candle for me
I'll light a candle for you
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you
