Song

#1 - December Nights, December Lights

Chorus:
December nights, December lights
Celebrations all across the land
December nights, December lights
Celebrate with others hand in hand

Celebrate eight nights of Hanukkah
Celebrate the feast of light
Christmas colors that inspire us
Shine by day and through the night

Chorus

Light the flames of the kinara
Kwanzaa holidays begin
Twinkling lights of la Posada
Is there room left at the inn?

Chorus

Celebrate December nights, December lights!

Song #2 - Holiday Lights

Chorus:
Holiday lights, shining so bright
Oh, what a sight this joyous season
Holiday lights, shining so bright
Oh, what a sight this time of year

Feel the magic in the air
Colored lights shine everywhere
Feel the magic all around
In the smiles of people in our town

Chorus

Red and green and gold and white
See them sparkle in the night
Green and red and white and gold
Such a lovely sight to behold

Chorus (2 times)

Oh, what a sight this time of year
Those holiday lights!

Song #3 - Light the Kinara for Kwanzaa

Chorus:
Light the kinara (light the kinara)
For Kwanzaa (for Kwanzaa)
Light the kinara (light the kinara)
For Kwanzaa (for Kwanzaa)

Kwanzaa, first harvest
A guide for daily living and family beliefs
Kwanzaa, first harvest
Come join the celebration, a ka-ra-mu, a feast

Chorus

Kwanzaa, first harvest
So light the seven candles, mi-shu-maa sa-ba
Kwanzaa, first harvest
The principles of living, N-gu-zo sa-ba

Chorus

Kwanzaa, first harvest
We gather the ma-za-o, it's what we reap and sow
Kwanzaa, first harvest
Come listen to the stories and songs of long ago

(whisper)
Kwanzaa!
Kwanzaa!

Light one candle for hope, one bright candle for hope,
He brings hope to every heart,
He comes! He comes!

Light one candle for peace, one bright candle for peace,
He brings peace to every heart,
He comes! He comes!

Light one candle for joy, one bright candle for joy,
Every nation will find salvation in Beth'lem's baby boy

Light one candle for love, one bright candle for love,
He brings love to every heart,
He comes! He comes!

Light one candle for joy, one bright candle for joy,
Every nation will find salvation in Beth'lem's baby boy

Song #6 Quien Les Da Posada

En nombre del cielo

Os pido posada
Pues no puede andar
Ya mi esposa amada

Yo soy carpintero
De nombre Jose
Mi esposa es Maria
La Madre de Dios

Si eres tu Jose
Y tu esposa es Maria
Entren, peregrinos
No los conocia


**Repeat all three verses

Song #7 Now Light One Thousand Christmas Lights

Now light one thousand Christmas lights

On dark earth here tonight
One thousand, thousand also shine
To make the dark sky bright

Oh, once when skies were starry bright
In stable cold and bare
Sweet Mary bore a son that night
A child both kind and fair

She names that dear baby Jesus
Sweet Mary meek and mild
She cradled and she rocked him too
That little tiny child

He came to bring us love and light
To bring us peace on earth
So let your candles shine tonight
And sing with joy and mirth

Now light one thousand Christmas lights
On dark earth here tonight
One thousand, thousand also shine
To make the dark sky bright

Song #8 One Candle Lights The Way

One candle in the night

Shining so true and bright
Still a pure and brilliant sight
One candle lights the way

This joyous time of year
Season of love and cheer
See the flame burn strong and clear
One candle lights the way
One hope, one dream, one world, one theme
One flame, one light, for peace throughout the night

One dawn of peace and love
Sun shining from above
Soar on wings just like a dove
One candle lights the way

One candle in the night
Shining so true and bright
All our hearts fill with delight
For all the world's at peace tonight
Still a pure and brilliant sight
One candle lights the way

One candle lights the way
