Verse 1:

D
One candle burning brightly
          G              D
might not seem much from afar
    
but take a closer look
             G              A        
'cause its a shining like a star
    D
one candle burning brightly
                         G
might be what we need to see
                   D
how shadows try to hide
     G             A
what we can really be


CHORUS:
       G
make a difference to the darkness
           D                  
shine your light to show the world
G             
we can make a better place
                  A
for every boy and girl
        G
light a candle for your neighbor
         D             G
say your not afraid to sing
                 D               G               D
together we can share in what a little love can bring

Verse 2:

    D
One candle burning brightly
        G              D
tightly held by one so small

staring in amazement 
       G            A
at the wonder of it all
    D
one candle burning brightly
                         G
might be what we have to hold
                       D
to know that sometimes simple things
    G                    A
are worth much more than gold


CHORUS


Bridge:
    G
One candle burning brightly
      D
could ignite a thousand more
     G
'til suddenly we realize
                  A
were not angry anymore
         G
if those candles burning brightly
            D                
stopped the fighting and the fear
    G                
the love we give at Christmas would
                  A
last throughout the year
