Be A Light
by Rabbi Neal Katz
With the first candle, I pray that you may be safe
From all of the troubles around you this day
With the second candle, I hope that you are secure
In what you believe that your heart may be pure
With the third candle I pray that you will stay kind
To all those around you, each new friend you find
With the fourth candle, I wish that you find delight
And love what you do with all of your might
Be a light, be a light, Shine proudly and loudly in the dark of the night
Be a light, shine so bright, Burn glorious, victorious with all of your might
Be a light... Be a light… Be a light…
With the fifth candle, I want that you should be strong
Do the best you can all your life long
With the sixth candle, I pray that you will be smart
Fill your life with learning, be true to your heart
And with the seventh candle, I hope that you will be fair
And always remember those who live in despair
With the eighth candle, I pray that you'll go to sleep
And while you are resting you’ll dream a sweet dream
Be a light, be a light, Shine proudly and loudly in the dark of the night
Be a light, shine so bright, Burn glorious, victorious with all of your might
Be a light... Be a light… Be a light…
