《Light One Candle(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Light One Candle (LP版) - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗与玛丽三重唱)

[00:00:17] Light one candle for the

[00:00:19] Maccabee children

[00:00:20] Give thanks that their

[00:00:21] Light didn't die;

[00:00:24] Light one candle for the

[00:00:26] Pain they endured

[00:00:27] When their right

[00:00:28] To exist was denied;

[00:00:31] Light one candle

[00:00:32] For the terrible sacrifice

[00:00:34] Justice and freedom demand;

[00:00:38] Light one candle

[00:00:39] For the wisdom to know

[00:00:41] When the peacemaker's

[00:00:42] Time is at hand!

[00:00:45] Don't let the light go out,

[00:00:48] It's lasted for so many years!

[00:00:52] Don't let the light go out!

[00:00:55] Let it shine through

[00:00:56] Our love and our tears!

[00:01:02] Light one candle for the

[00:01:04] Strength that we need

[00:01:05] To never become our own foe;

[00:01:08] Light one candle

[00:01:10] For those who are suff'ring

[00:01:12] The pain that we learned long ago;

[00:01:15] Light one candle for all we believe in,

[00:01:19] That anger not tear us apart;

[00:01:22] And light one candle

[00:01:24] To bind us together

[00:01:26] With peace as the song in our heart!

[00:01:30] Don't let the light go out,

[00:01:32] It's lasted for so many years!

[00:01:36] Don't let the light go out!

[00:01:39] Let it shine through

[00:01:40] Our love and our tears!

[00:01:43] Don't let the light go out,

[00:01:46] It's lasted for so many years!

[00:01:50] Don't let the light go out!

[00:01:52] Let it shine through

[00:01:54] Our love and our tears!

[00:02:03] What is the memory

[00:02:05] That's valued so highly

[00:02:06] That we keep it alive in that flame?

[00:02:10] What's the commitment

[00:02:11] To those who have died?

[00:02:13] We cry out "they've not died in vain,"

[00:02:16] We have come this far,

[00:02:18] Always believing

[00:02:20] That justice will somehow prevail;

[00:02:23] This is the burden

[00:02:25] And This is the promise,

[00:02:26] This is why we will not fail!

[00:02:31] Don't let the light go out,

[00:02:33] It's lasted for so many years!

[00:02:37] Don't let the light go out!

[00:02:40] Let it shine through

[00:02:41] Our love and our tears!

[00:02:44] Don't let the light go out,

[00:02:47] It's lasted for so many years!

[00:02:51] Don't let the light go out!

[00:02:53] Let it shine through

[00:02:54] Our love and our tears!

[00:02:57] Don't let the light go out!

[00:03:01] Don't let the light go out!

[00:03:04] Don't let the light go out!
