LIGHT ONE CANDLEMusic and lyrics by Peter Yarrowvocals by Billy Jonas/Sonia Rutstein/Neal KatzLight one candle for the Maccabee children, give thanks that their light did not 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.Light one candle for the wisdom to know when the peacemaker's time is at hand.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.Light one candle for those who are suffering the pain that we learned long ago.Light one candle for all we believe in, let anger not tear us apart.Light one candle to bind us together, with peace as the song in our heart.What is the memory that's valued so highly, that we keep alive in that flame?What's the commitment to those who have died, when we cry out "they've not died in vain"?We have come this far always believing that justice will somehow prevail.This is the burden, and this is the promise and this is why we will not fail.Don't let the light go out.LIGHT ONE CANDLE

Light one candle for the Maccabee children, give thanks that their light did not 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.
Light one candle for the wisdom to know when the peacemaker's time is at hand.
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.
Light one candle for those who are suffering the pain that we learned long ago.
Light one candle for all we believe in, let anger not tear us apart.
Light one candle to bind us together, with peace as the song in our heart.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.
What is the memory that's valued so highly, that we keep alive in that flame?
What's the commitment to those who have died, when we cry out "they've not died in vain"?
We have come this far always believing that justice will somehow prevail.
This is the burden, and this is the promise and this is why we will not fail.
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.
Don't let the light go out.
