Light a Candle Songtext
von Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Light a candle, say a prayer

When you are lonely, lift your eyes
Look to heaven and realize
That someone loves you
Light a candle, say a prayer (Say a prayer)

Then when you′re worried, sad or blue
Someone watching over you
Take a moment
Light a candle, say a prayer (Light a candle, say a prayer)

A candle is a sign He understands (He understands you)
It's the flame that puts your future
Right in His hands (Right in His hands)


Friends forget you, every day He remembers
Come what may, just don′t forget to
Light a candle, say a prayer (When you're lonely, say a prayer)

You know when you're lonely, sometime I be lonely
Why, just lift your eyes
Hmm, then look to heaven in your heart and then realize
Why, someone loves you, oh yes, they do
Then go and light a candle, a little
One, and say a prayer (Say a prayer)

Because every day of your life
Friends forget you, every day He remembers
Come what may, don′t forget to
Light a candle, say a prayer (Light a candle, say a prayer)
