Light a candle (Tenn lys)

Light a candle! One candle will burn for this little earth
The shiny star in heaven, where we all live
May all share the hope, so good things can happen
May earth and heaven meet. A candle is lit for that

Light a candle! Two lights will shine for love and faith
For those who care and always reconcile
May prisoners have their freedom and refugees a home
Light a candle for those who cry and those who comfort them

Light a candle! Three candles will sparkle for all who have to fight
For justice and freedom. They need help from us
May no one loose their hope before all people are one
Light a candle for those who fight for freedom and for what is right

Light a candle! Now four candles are shining for he
who loves all that lives, every lion and every lamb
Light a candle for the heavenly king the shepherd saw
Now heaven and earth are meeting in the child lying in the grass
