Light One Candle (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Light one candle for the Maccabee children With thanks that their light didn't die Light one candle for the pain they endured When their right to exist was denied Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice Justice and freedom demand But light one candle for the wisdom to know (Light one candle) When the peacemaker's time is at hand [Chorus] Don't let the light go out It's lasted for so many years Don't let the light go out Lеt it shine through our love and our tears [Verse 2] Light onе candle for the strength that we need (Light one candle) To never become our own foe (Oh) And light one candle for those who are suffering (Light one candle) Pain we learned so long ago (Oh) Light one candle for all we believe in (Light one candle) Let anger not tear us apart And light one candle to bind us together (Light one candle) With peace as the song in our heart [Chorus] Don't let the light go out (Don't light the light go out) It's lasted for so many years (Lasted for so many years) Don't let the light go out Let it shine through our love and our tears Don't let the light go out (Don't let the light go out) It's lasted for so many years (Lasted for so many years) Don't let the light go out Let it shine through our love and our tears [Verse 3] What is the memory that's valued so highly That we keep it alive in that flame? (Ah) What's the commitment to those who have died When we cry out they've not died in vain? (Ah) We have come this far, always believing That justice will somehow prevail This is the burden, this is the promise And this why we will not fail! [Chorus] Don't let the light go out (Don't let the light go out) It's lasted for so many years (Lasted for so many years) Don't let the light go out Let it shine through our love and our tears (Don't let the light go out) Don't let the light go out (Don't let the light go out) It's lasted for so many years (Lasted for so many years) Don't let the light go out Let it shine through our love and our tears [Outro] Don't let the light go out! Don't let the light go out! Don't let the light go out!
