See one tiny spark, still, small, and bright
And hands cupped around to shield its light,
A single flame, born of desire,
Faces turned toward its glow.

Pass on the light, pass on the light,
Long may it shine, steady and strong
Pass on the light, pass on the light
From night to dawn, carry it on.

The circle of light grows as it’s passed
From young hands to old and back again,
Sharing youth’s wonder, wisdom of age,
Spreading love as it goes.

Pass on the light, pass on the light,
Long may it shine, steady and strong
Pass on the light, pass on the light
From hand to hand, carry it on.

And still it shines on, year unto year,
From one tiny spark to beacon clear.
Each generation lighting our way,
Forward bright through the night.

Pass on the light, pass on the light,
Long may it shine, steady and strong
Pass on the light, pass on the light
From heart to heart, carry it on. 
Carry it on.
