Just One Light Lyrics
by Jewish Federation of Madison and Distant Cousins
When you’re feeling helpless or afraid
When you are a witness to hate
You have the power
You have the choice
To light…Just one light
Ambassadors of our tradition
We rise up to our mission
In the face of otherness
We have the choice
To light…Just one light
CHORUS:
One Light
Can shine on and on
Just One Light
Can rise, rise beyond
With joy and our pride
Together we will light
one light
Just one light
When the sound of ignorance rings out
When silence is all too loud
In the face of darkness
We have the choice
To light…Just one light
CHORUS:
One Light
Can shine on and on
Just One Light
Can rise, rise beyond
With joy and our pride
Together we will light
one light
Just one light
Same old thinking gets us nowhere
let's try something new
we might just find we’re all seeking the truth
Let’s talk open face to face
Religion and race,
underneath it all we are the same
You may be my neighbor, but you feel so far from me
Let’s laugh and cry and dance and sing and live in harmony
CHORUS:
One Light
Can shine on and on
Just One Light
Can rise, rise beyond
With joy and our pride
Together we will light
One light…Can dispel the darkness
One light…we’re joining forces
One light…shine on injustice
Oh, let’s light…One light
