Strike a match, light a wick,
the wax falls on the candlestick
Slowly, patiently, into the night
the candle gives its light
Just a little touch of fire,
I won't let no one blow it out,
this little light of mine
And you place those candles
And you turn a dark room bright
They're the universal light
Did you know that the glow of a candle
Through the calm of a dark winter sky
Just like the glimmer in a child's eye
all we can do is hand them a light
what they do with their flame
Just a little touch of fire
that can see through the dark
We can trust that a child
And you place those candles all around
and you turn a dark room bright
they're the universal light
Strike a match, light a wick
The wax falls on the candlestick
Slowly, patiently, into the night
the candle gives its light
Everywhere I go, I'm gonna let it shine
Everywhere I go, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
