Lyrics

It makes me wanna cry
To see the pain of children dying
It makes me wanna cry
To see the suffering in the world
Where there?s hunger and disease
People killing just for power
It?s hard to find a righteous man
To hold the candle high

It makes me wanna fight
To see the cruelty and the hatred
It makes me wanna stop
The ones deliverin? all the pain
But I know I?m only one
Against a sea of millions
Looking for the righteous man
To hold the candle high

There is just one righteous man
He walks the streets alone
Healing all the misery and pain
Blessed are the poor
Blessed are the meek
Blessed are the one who seek
Help in His name

It make me wanna cry
To know we turn away from His love
It makes me wanna try
To help the ones that may not know
He is the one salvation
In this ugly, ugly world now
He is the only righteous man
To help us find the way

Hold the candle higher
Hold the candle higher
Hold the candle higher
My Lord
(repeat twice more)
Hold the candle higher
Hold the candle higher
Hold the candle higher
Please hold the candle up
So that I can see you, My Lord!
