Song | Light One Candle |
Artist | Peter, Paul & Mary |
Album | Around the Campfire |
作词 : Yarrow | |
Light one candle for the maccabee children | |
With 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 | |
But light one candle for the wisdom to know | |
When the peacemaker's 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. | |
Light one candle for the strength that we need | |
To never become 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 | |
That anger not tear us apart | |
And light one candle to find us together | |
With peace as the song in our hearts | |
(chorus) | |
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 | |
That we cry out they've not died in vain? | |
We have come this far always believing | |
That justice would somehow prevail | |
This is the burden, this is the promise | |
This is why we will not fail! | |
(chorus) | |
Don't let the light go out! | |
Don't let the light go out! | |
Don't let the light go out! |
