Lift Up Your Candle (שיר)

One song can spark a moment, a flower can wake a dream

One tree can start a forest, a bird can herald spring One smile begins a friendship, a kindness lifts a soul Just one word can sometimes frame a goal

One vote can change a nation, a sunbeam lights a room One candle wipes out darkness, a laugh can conquer gloom One step must start each journey, a word must start each prayer Just one touch can show how much you care

Chorus: Lift up your candle how bright its light will shine The fire deep inside you has power so divine
The neshamah is your guide for the Torah's way that's true
One life can make a difference it's up to you

Lift up your candle turn darkness into day
With just one single Mitzvah a judgment can be swayed
And though we know it's hard we all fall now and then
Lift up your candle once again

You can be the shining star that guides a ship at sea
You can be the only answer to set a person free
One hope can raise our spirits higher than before
And then our lives are changed for evermore

Chorus:....

Bridge -
...Can you hear a voice so softly it does sing
But wait! there's so many more, in thunderous ring!
