You, light a candle in your heart
Fill your soul with the brightness of its entourage
Let not this world be a selfish mirage
Let them kill your roseate dreams
Ignore your poignant pleas
Squash your path in mud
Drench the innocent in blood
But you, light a candle in your heart
Fill your soul with the brightness of its entourage
Let not this world be a selfish mirage
Let them spill out the venom
Attack the one without any weapon
Destroy your precious homes
Ruin your auspicious hopes
But you, light a candle in your heart
Fill your soul with the brightness of its entourage
Let not this world be a selfish mirage
Let them smudge your garments
With their gratuitous comments
Let them do all the damage
While they can still rampage
But you, light a candle in your heart
Fill your soul with the brightness of its entourage
Let not this world be a selfish mirage
Let them create havoc in the land
But this you must understand
Surely you will overcome this phase
For, the oppressed move closest to God's space
Until then, light a candle in your heart
Fill your soul with the brightness of its entourage
Let not this world be a selfish mirage
And if not a candle, a tiny spark
Will definitely, drive away the darkness at large.
the candle of hope the candle of life the candle of love the candle of humanity lit up in heart to make the world peaceful
'And if not a candle, a tiny spark Will definitely, drive away the darkness at large' - Loved these concluding lines.
