Light the candles round the world 
 Pray the light will never cease 
 ‘Til the nations of the world 
 Take each other's hands in peace 
 
 Light the candles round the world 
 Pray the light will never cease 
 ‘Til 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 
 ‘Til the nations of the world 
 Take each other’s hands in peace 
 
 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 
 ‘Til 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
