One Little Candle lyrics

When the day is dark and dreary

And your way is hard to find

Don't 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 need's a tiny spark

If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free

The wonderful dawn of a new day we'll see

And if everyone lit just one little candle,

What a bright world this would be!
