LYRICS
This is the Festival, the Festival of Light
Sing for the candles burning brightly through the night
Sing for the light abroad that guides our destiny
Sing for the light of love that builds community
Sing for the wise ones, men and women who
Light up our way with visions that are true
Sing for our children who are candles of the dawn
Giving us the promise that our light will carry on
This is the festival, the festival of light
Sing for the love that shall make this world ignite
A flame with a beauty that awakes in every heart
Sing for the will that can make that fire start
Follow the light that leads within us to the birth
Of love and harmony, and peace for all upon the earth
We are the festival, we are the light
We are the candles burning brightly in the night
We are the festival, we are the light
We are the candles burning brightly in the night
We are the festival, we are the light
We are the candles burning brightly in the night
