LIGHT ONE CANDLE Light one candle for the Maccabee children With thanks their light didnt 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 That the peacemakers time is at hand! Chorus: Dont let the light go out, Its lasted for so many years! Dont 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 suffring A pain they learned so long ago; Light one candle for all we believe in, That anger not tear us apart; And light one candle to bind us together With peace as the song in our heart! [Chorus:] What is the memory thats valued so highly That we keep it alive in that flame? Whats the commitment to those who have died? We cry out theyve not died in vain, We have come this far, always believing That justice will somehow prevail; This is the burden, This is the promise, This is why we will not fail! [Chorus:] Dont let the light go out! Dont let the light go out! Dont let the light go out! https://youtube/watch?v=h1cRXgDFiSs
