Light a Candle For Peace

Sing for World Peace, Thursday, Sept. 21 – 9:30-10:00 a.m.

As a member of an international Montessori community, you and your MPSA household can celebrate International Day of Peace by singing the beautifully simple song Light a Candle for Peace. Share your experience with our community on Twitter @MPSArlington #PeacefulMonarchs or your classroom’s Seesaw page.

Why Are We Singing?

By singing Light a Candle for Peace by Shelley Murley, we share and express a unified hope for World Peace with Montessori students around the world.  Each international region has been assigned a time zone; by participating during the assigned  time, our shared song will travel around the world and, eventually, resound for a full 24 hour day.

Light a Candle for Peace

By Shelley Murley

Light a candle for peace, light a candle for love
Light a candle that shines all the way around the world
Light a candle for me, light a candle for you
That our wish for world peace will one day come true! (repeats)
Sing peace around the world
Sing peace around the world
Sing peace around the world
Sing peace around the world
Light a candle for peace, light a candle for love,
Light a candle that shines all the way around the world
Light a candle for me, light a candle for you
That our wish for world peace Will one day come true!
