We light our candles and join hand in hand Open our hearts that we'll understand Come together family and friends That all that's dead may live again Can we bury the hatchet and open our doors Forgive what we can and end these sad wars? Pick up our shovels and close the poles in That all that's dead might live again The blood of our anger, the curse of our fear Once at a distance now has drawn near All that we've built up is dust on the ground A circle of sorrow comes round We light up our candles and kindle our hope And pray those that have faith, these horrors can cope We come together family and friends That all that's dead might live again
