[Verse 1]
Are you burning, little candle?
High upon the Christmas tree
Symbol of a new beginning
Faith (Faith), hope (Hope), sweet release

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Are you shining, little star?
Shining in the skies above
Lift us up into the heavens
Symbol of the light of love

[Verse 3]
Are you watching, little angel?
High above the Christmas tree
Angels all around the world
Hear us as we pray for peace
[Chorus]
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 star

[Verse 4]
Are you spinning, little dreidel?
Spinning tales of long ago
Spinning past the little cradle
Tell us what we used to know

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
Are you listening, little pine tree?
Silent midst the glistening snow
Symbol of the forest stillness
Deep the joy that man can know

[Verse 6]
Are you watching, little angels?
High above the world tonight
Angels all around the world
Guide us with your loving light

[Verse 7]
Are you singing, little children?
Singing loud and strong and clear
Singing all around the world
Sing it loud so we can hear

[Chorus]
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
Oh, shine your light
Shine your light on me
Oh little candle, oh little star
Oh little angel, oh little children
Shine your light on me
[Outro]
Oh little children
Oh little candle
