Are You Burning, Little Candle?

Are you burning, little candle? High upon the Christmas tree Symbol of a new beginning Faith and hope and sweet release Remind us Of the children's faces Full of wonder and surprise Of the laughter in their voices The sweetness in their eyes When they wake up in the morning With the feeling in their heart That there's joy in the air And they know that they're a part Shine your light on me, little candle Are you shining, little star? Shining in the skies above Lift us up into the heavens Symbol of the light of love Are you spinning, little dreidel? Spinning tales of long ago Spinning past the little cradle Tell us what we used to know Remind us Of the children's faces Full of wonder and surprise Of the laughter in their voices The sweetness in their eyes Are you watching, little angel? High above the Christmas tree Angels all around the world Hear us as we pray for peace Remind us Of the children's faces Full of wonder and surprise Of the laughter in their voices The sweetness in their eyes Are you listening, little pine tree? Silent midst the glistening snow Symbol of the forest stillness Deepest joy that man can know Are you singing, little children? Singing loud and strong and clear Singing all around the world Sing it loud so we can hear Shine your light on me Little candle, little star Little angel, little children Shine your light on me
