Light A Candle

(album: Joy - A Christmas Collection - 2000)

Light a candle
For the old man who sits staring
Out a frosty windowpane

Light a candle
For the woman who is lonely
And every Christmas is the same

For the children who need
More than presents can bring

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
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

Ooh and in this special time of year
May peace on earth surround us here
And teach us there's a better way to live

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