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.

We will not forget,
And every year in deep December,
On Earth we will light candles
As........................we remember.
