The Flickering Candle
The lone candle flickers in the window
As we sit down by the open fire
Children laughing with sheer delight
While outside I can hear the people's choir
We're gonna spread the love through good spirit and cheer
This Christmas let's see the love hanging in the air
We're gonna spread the love this Christmas,
Happiness and joy this Christmas let's see the love spreading everywhere
They're singing about the end of hunger
Spreading peace to one and all at this time of year
Spreading words of love and happiness
I love to hold my loved ones so near
We're gonna spread the love through good spirit and cheer
This Christmas let's see the love hanging in the air
We're gonna spread the love this Christmas,
Happiness and joy together
Family celebrations everywhere
We're gonna spread the love through good spirit and cheer
This Christmas let's see the love hanging in the air
We're gonna spread the love this Christmas,
Happiness and joy together
Family celebrations evenrywhere
We're gonna spread the love through good spirit and cheer
This Christmas let's see the love hanging in the air
We're gonna spread the love this Christmas,
Happiness and joy together
Family celebrations everywhere
Family celebrations everywhere
Family celebrations everywhere

I wrote this song as part of the BBC Christmas Radio show in Jersey several years ago. I guess I was in a reflective mode. Christmas is always a lovely time of year, stealing Owen's song title there! I loved Christmas when I was younger. We always had a great time as a family.
Having just gone through a divorce I was thinking how my kids would miss out on a united family Christmas. I resolved that my kids would enjoy Christmas each and every year regardless of our situation. I want them to feel the love I have for them, feel the joy that I received the moment I held each one of them for the first time ever. A reminder of the promise I made them that day, that we would create a lifetime of memories together.
This is for:
My 3 children - Ocean, Niamh and Dylan.
Families everywhere.
Communities everywhere.
You, Me, All of Us.
