Karaoké Light One Candle Peter, Paul and Mary

Light one candle for the Maccabee children

With thanks 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

But light one candle

But light one candle for the wisdom to know for the wisdom to know for the wisdom to know

When the peacemaker's time

When the peacemaker's time

When the peacemaker's time is at hand is at hand is at hand

To never become our own foe

Light one candle for those who are suffering for those who are suffering

Pain we learned

Pain we learned so long ago so long ago

Light one candle

Light one candle for all we believe in for all we believe in for all we believe in

Let anger not tear us

Let anger not tear us apart apart apart

And light one candle

Light one candle to bind us together to bind us together to bind us together

With peace as the song

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

When we cry out they've not died in vain

We have come this far

We have come this far always believing always believing always believing
