Light a candle (Lyrics and music: Martin Buchholz; English Lyrics by Dania König)

 CHORUS 

 Light a candle, shine it bright, a light of hope, and  let it shine for all the world to see.

Light a candle here tonight, a sign of life that brightens up the night for you and me. 

 VERSE 1

 Shine a light for everyone close to you

 Shine a light for all who are alone

Shine it for the many whispered prayers, for the spark of courage in your soul. 

 Light a candle, shine it bright… 

VERSE 2

Shine a light for doers and for hopers for the people who console our hearts nurses, doctors, all the ones that help us 

Shine a light for goodbyes and new starts 

 Light a candle, shine it bright...

 VERSE 3 

Shine a light for people of all nations Milan, Sao Paolo and Madrid 

Shine it to connect us by the power that we feel in every loving step

 Light a candle, shine it bright...
