A lamp that kept on burn ing, a mir a cle, they say;
but the world has kept on turn of ing, are there mir a cles to day?
Ev ’ry one who lights the can dles has a bit of an cient spark.
We are mir a cles
light ing up the dark.
We are lights,
lights
of mem o ry,
re mem b’ring times
long gone.
We are glow ing,
grow ing mir a cles,
we are lights,
we
are lights,
we are lights,
shin ing on
and on.
A row of burn ing can dles shines light up on your face,
link ing you and me and all of us to a far off ho ly place.
But the blaz ing of the can dles is a not the on ly light.
Look at all of us,
shin ing here to night.
We are lights,
lights
of mem o ry,
re mem b’ring times
long gone.
We are glow ing,
grow ing mir a cles,
we are lights,
we
are lights,
we are lights,
shin ing on
and on.
A shin ing on.
We are lights, we are lights,
shin ing on.
We are lights, we are lights,
shin ing on
