- Peter, Paul & Mary - Light One Candle Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- (Peter Yarrow)
- 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
- 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!
- Let it shine through our love and our tears.
- Light one candle for the strength that we need
- To never become our own foe
- And light one candle for those who are suffering
- Pain we learned so long ago
- Light one candle for all we believe in
- That anger not tear us apart
- And light one candle to find us together
- With peace as the song in our hearts
- [Chorus]
- What is the memory that's valued so highly
- That we keep it alive in that flame?
- What's the commitment to those who have died
- That we cry out they've not died in vain?
- We have come this far always believing
- That justice would somehow prevail
- This is the burden, this is the promise
- This is why we will not fail!
- [Chorus]
- Don't let the light go out!
- Don't let the light go out!
- Don't let the light go out!
