Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each other's hands in peace
Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each other’s hands in peace
Light the path and show the way
Every boy and every girl
Make the light as bright as day
Light the candles round the world
Make each flame 'a loving heart
Mother father daughter son
All it takes is one to start
For the world to be as one
Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each other’s hands in peace
Lah lah lah...
So I tell you this
When you see the light appear
It will drive away the dark
And there'll be nothing left to fear
Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each other’s hands in peace
Light the path and show the way
Every boy and every girl
Make the light as bright as day
Light the candles round the world
Light the candles round the world
Light the candles round the world
Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each other's hands in peace
Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each other’s hands in peace
Light the path and show the way
Every boy and every girl
Make the light as bright as day
Light the candles round the world
Make each flame 'a loving heart
Mother father daughter son
All it takes is one to start
For the world to be as one
Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each other’s hands in peace
Lah lah lah...
