It is better to light just one little candle,

Than to stumble in the dark!

Better far that you light just one little candle,

All you needs a tiny spark!



If wed all say a prayer that the world would be free,

The wonderful dawn of a new day well see!

And, if everyone lit just one little candle,

What a bright world this would be!



Lets all light one little candle,

Why stumble on in the dark?

When the day is dark an' dreary,

And your way is hard to find,

Dont let your heart be weary,

Just keep this thought in mind!



It is better to light just one little candle,

Than to stumble in the dark!

Better far that you light just one little candle,

All you needs a tiny spark!



If wed all say a prayer that the world would be free,

The wonderful dawn of a new day well see!

And, if everyone lit just one little candle,

What a bright world this would be!



What a bright world

this would be!
