[English]

Two hands spirit gave me two hands
Humans humans making humans
Mountains maybe we can move them
Come now, together we can do this
Together we can, take my hand, take my hand
No I won't stand there in the dark
Together we can light our candles, and stand for those who came before man
No I won't stand there in the dark
Better to light one candle than curse the darkness
Than curse the darkness
I'm breathing, give thanks for they have given
Listen to all the songs I'm singing
We can do something or do nothing
So come now strike the match lets do this
Together we can take my hand, take my hand
No I won't stand there in the dark
Together we can light our candles and stand for those who came before man
No I won't stand there in the dark
Better to light one candle than curse the darkness
Than curse the darkness
Better to light one candle than curse the darkness
Than curse the darkness
No I won't stand there in the dark
No I won't stand there in the dark
Together we can take my hand, take my hand
No I won't stand there in the dark
Together we can light our candles and stand for those who came before man
No I won't stand there in the dark
Better to light one candle than curse the darkness
Than curse the darkness
Better to light one candle than curse the darkness
Than curse the darkness
Better to light one candle than curse the darkness
Than curse the darkness
Than curse the darkness
