It is better to light just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark.
Better far than to light just one little candle
All you need's a tiny spark.

If we all said our prayers
That the world would be free
What a wonderful day that the
new dawn would bring .

O au o se atali'i o le atua ua na auina
Mai au nei ina ia ou nofo i lenei
Lalolagi ma matua agalelei tago mai
Savali mai i o'u tafatafa ina ne'i o'u
Sese a'o a'o mai mea e ao ona fai la ou
Toe fo'i atu ai

I am a child of God
And He has sent me here
Has given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear.

Lead me, guide me
Walk beside me
Help me find the way.

Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday.
