(R. Matsuo)
As we look at the world around us, does everything seem to be right?
Is there comfort in the night for the poor?
Does this world with all it's riches belong to just a few?
Can we set aside their point of view and find a cure?
If we let our sense of compassion define us,
touch the hearts in need with kindness.
Save the souls we've left behind us and pray
Chorus
We can light the world a candle at a
time
Let our spirits shine to show the
way.
As we light the world a candle at a
time,
We'll erase the lines that divide us.
Can one man with no fortune afford to live without the pain,
To have life free from shame, and proud to stand tall?
Can our children have tomorrow with no hope for today
though we love them all the same way after all?
One eye looks into a thousand eyes,
one hand can save a thousand lives.
One candle shines for a thousand miles to help us find a way.
Chorus
The needs of the many far outweigh the needs of just the few
Can the souls of just a few good people shine through?
Chorus
