One Candle, One Flame
"If you light up the darkness then you won't be afraid
If you offer your kindness you'll get back what you gave
It takes one little candle to turn darkness to light
Like the promise of the dawn on a long winter's night."
If you offer your kindness you'll get back what you gave
It takes one little candle to turn darkness to light
Like the promise of the dawn on a long winter's night."
Capturing the holiday spirit, this song has become a standard in schools and churches. The hope it expresses has been inspirational for many events. It was performed in Geneva at the United Nations 60th Anniversary for the Human Rights Council. It preceded Mayor Daley's eulogy for the late Mayor Eugene Sawyer of Chicago; The Atlanta International Choir used this song as the centerpiece for their Martin Luther King Day fundraiser. Ronnie Spector recorded it on her Christmas album and sang it on the David Letterman show.
