Starshine Singers - Just A Single Candle

Just a single candle,
Burning in the night,
Shares a flame with others,
Bringing warmth and light.
Just a single candle,
As far as I can view,
(Lights the way around)
Lights the way around the world:
It’s up to me and you.

A candle isn’t simply
Wax, a wick, a flame.
It’s do I love my neighbour,
How I play the game.
How I treat my family
And people I don’t know,
(How I feel within)
How I feel within my heart
And where I choose to go.

Different faiths and nations,
Muslim, Christian, Jew.
Different creeds and colours
Underneath the blue.
In our hearts we long for peace
And safety for our own.
(Show us how to see)
Show us how to see the world
As everybody’s home.

Just a single candle
Burning in the night
Shares a flame with others
Bringing warmth and light.
Just a single candle,
As far as I can view,
Lights the way around the world:
It’s up to me and you.

Just a single candle
Burning in the night
Shares a flame with others
Bringing warmth and light.
Just a single candle,
As far as I can view,
Lights the way around the world:
It’s up to me and you.

I will start by reaching out
My heart and hands to you.
Just a single candle, just a single candle.
