light one candle (live) - peter, paul and mary 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!
