To a far off holy place. Chorus: But the blazing of the candles, We are lights, lights of memory, Is not the only light. Remembering times long gone. Look at all of us, shining here tonight! We are glowing, growing miracles. Chorus: Light One Candle Light one candle for the Maccabee Light one candle for all we believe in, children, With thanks that their light didn't die. Light one candle for the pain they Let anger not tear us apart. endured, And light one candle to bind us together, When their right to exist was denied. With peace as a song in our heart. Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice Justice and freedom demand.
