Can you see our candles



Burning in the night?


Lights of love we send you


Rays of purest light.






Children we remember,


Though missing from our sight.


In honor and remembrance


We light candles in the night.






All across the big blue marble,


Spinning out in space,


Can you see the candles burning,


From this human place?






Oh, angels gone before us,


Who taught us perfect love,


This night the world lights candles


That you may see them from above.






Tonight the globe is lit by love,


Of those who know great sorrow.


But as we remember our yesterdays


Let“s light one candle for tomorrow.
