For the old man who sits staring at 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

Light a candle (light a candle)
Light the dark (light the world)
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 surrounded us here
And teach us there's a better way to live
And with 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 (I'll light a candle)
Light the dark (I'll light the dark)
Light the world
Light a heart or two (heart or two)
Light a candle for me (light a candle)
I'll light a candle for you (light a candle)

Light a candle for me (light a candle)
I'll light a candle for you
Light a candle for me
I'll light a candle for you"
