There's a funny thing
That happens when you bring
Two candles together
From a single light
Do the both ignite
And shine all the better
They give what they have
And expect nothing back
Brighter for having given their light away
I wanna be
A little more like a candle
A little less like a flame
Take only what I can handle
And then give it away
Chase away all the shadows
And turn night into day
A little more like a candle
A little less like a flame, a little less like a flame
Fire can keep you warm
Through a storm
Or burn down a forest in a night
It can take you whole
If you lose control
Or trust in it's bright and brilliant light
But a candle will burn
Live it's life and return
To ash and to dust
It does what it must, you see
I wanna be
A little more like a candle
A little less like a flame
Take only what I can handle
And then give it away
Chase away all the shadows
And turn night into day
A little more like a candle
A little less like a flame, a little less like a flame
Maoz tzur yeshuati
Lecha na-eh l'shabe-ach
Tikon beit t'filati
V'sham todah nezabe-ach
Le-eit tachin matbe-ah
Mitzar ham'na'be-ah
Az egmor beshir mizmor
Chanukat hamizbe-ah
A little more like a candle
A little less like a flame
Take only what I can handle
And then give it away
