Testo Light One Candle - Peter, Paul and Mary
Testo della canzone Light One Candle (Peter, Paul and Mary), tratta dall'album No Easy Walk To Freedom
Light one candle for the Maccabee children
Give 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
And 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
And light one candle for those who are suff'ring
Pain we learned so 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! (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!
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 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, always believing
That justice will somehow prevail
This is the burning, this is the promise
And this is why we will not fail
Don't let the light go out! (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!
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!
Don't let the light go out!
Don't let the light go out!
