Light a candle For the old man who sits staring Out a frosty window pane Light a candle For the woman who is lonely And every Christmas it's the same For the children who need More than presents can bring CHORUS: 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 CHORUS BRIDGE: And in this special time of year May peace on earth surround us here And teach us there's a better way to live Oh, and with every flame that burns We must somehow learn That love's the greatest gift That we could ever give CHORUS
