Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each others' hands in peace

Light the path and show the way
Every boy and every girl
Make the night as bright as day
And 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 others' hands in peace

So I tell you this my love
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 others' hands in peace

Light the path and show the way
Every boy and every girl
Make the night as bright as day
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 others' hands in peace

Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each others' hands in peace

Light the candles round the world
Pray the light will never cease
Till the nations of the world
Take each others' hands in peace
