Light One Candle

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 on candle for the terrible sacrifice justice and freedom demand
Light one candle for the wisdom to know when the peace makers time is at hand

Chorus
   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

Instrumental

Light one candle for the strength that we need to never became our own foe
And light one candle for those who are suffering pain we learned so long ago
Light one candle for all we believe in let anger not tear us apart
And light one candle to bind us together with peace as the song in our hearts

Repeat Chorus    2x

Instrumental

And what is the memory that’s valued so highly that we keep it alive in the flame?
What’s the commitment for those who have died we cry out they have not died in vain?
We have come this far, always believing that judgment will somehow prevail
This is the burden! This is the promise and this is why we will not fail!

Repeat Chorus    2x

Outro
   Don’t let the light go out
   Don’t let the light go out
   Don’t let the light go out
