Are You Burning, Little Candle? - Jane Siberry

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

Remind us…

Are you watching, little Angel?

High above the Christmas tree

Angels all around the world

Hear us as we pray for peace

Remind us…

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
