Lift Up Your Candle

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
And 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
And 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 judgement 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, to guides a ship at sea
You can be the only answer, to set a person free
One hope can rise our spirits
Higher than before
And then our lives are changing forever more

Chorus

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

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
