IT SAYS, "LIGHT ONE CANDLE."

CANDLE ON A MENORAH, THE JEWISH HOLIDAY OF HANUKKAH.

LIGHT A CANDLE FOR DECENCY.

LIGHT A CANDLE FOR HOPE.

LIGHT A UNIVERSAL CANDLE FOR PEACE.

LIGHT ONE CANDLE FOR THE MACCABEE CHILDREN WITH THANKS THAT THEIR LIGHT DIDN'T DIE LIGHT ONE CANDLE FOR THE PAIN THEY ENDURED WHEN THEIR RIGHT TO EXIST WAS DENIED LIGHT ONE CANDLE FOR THE TERRIBLE SACRIFICE JUSTICE AND FREEDOM DEMAND BUT LIGHT ONE CANDLE FOR THE WISDOM TO KNOW WHEN THE PEACEMAKER'S TIME IS AT HAND DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT IT'S LASTED FOR SO MANY YEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT LET IT SHINE THROUGH OUR LOVE AND OUR TEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT IT'S LASTED FOR SO MANY YEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT LET IT SHINE THROUGH OUR LOVE AND OUR TEARS LIGHT ONE CANDLE FOR THE STRENGTH THAT WE NEED TO NEVER BECOME OUR OWN FOE AND LIGHT ONE CANDLE FOR THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING PAIN WE LEARNED SO LONG AGO LIGHT ONE CANDLE FOR ALL WE BELIEVE IN THAT ANGER NOT TEAR US APART AND LIGHT ONE CANDLE TO FIND US TOGETHER WITH PEACE AS THE SONG IN OUR HEARTS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT IT'S LASTED FOR SO MANY YEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT LET IT SHINE THROUGH OUR LOVE AND OUR TEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT IT'S LASTED FOR SO MANY YEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT LET IT SHINE THROUGH OUR LOVE AND OUR TEARS AND WHAT IS THE MEMORY THAT'S VALUED SO HIGHLY THAT WE KEEP IT ALIVE IN THAT FLAME?

WHAT'S THE COMMITMENT TO THOSE WHO HAVE DIED WHEN WE CRY OUT, "THEY'VE NOT DIED IN VAIN"?

WE HAVE COME THIS FAR ALWAYS BELIEVING THAT JUSTICE WOULD SOMEHOW PREVAIL THIS IS THE BURDEN, THIS IS THE PROMISE THIS IS WHY WE WILL NOT FAIL DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT IT'S LASTED FOR SO MANY YEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT LET IT SHINE THROUGH OUR LOVE AND OUR TEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT IT'S LASTED FOR SO MANY YEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT LET IT SHINE THROUGH OUR LOVE AND OUR TEARS DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT [APPLAUSE] PEOPLE USED TO ASK ME, "WHICH ONE ARE YOU MARRIED TO?"

AND I WOULD SAY, "NEITHER, OR IT WOULDN'T HAVE LASTED THIS LONG," AND THEY SAY, "NO, NO.

REALLY, WHICH ONE?"

YOU'D THINK I WOULD KNOW, BUT IN A SENSE, THEY HAD THE RIGHT IDEA.

IT IS A MARRIAGE.

NOTHING FRENCH, MIND YOU...

BUT IT IS A MARRIAGE OF THE SPIRIT, AND WE HAVE LOVED EACH OTHER AND HATED EACH OTHER, FOUGHT, SCREAMED, CRIED, KISSED AND MADE UP, UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE ARE PETTY AND SMALL ASPECTS TO OUR PERSONALITIES WHICH, LORD KNOWS, WE'D LIKE TO FORGET, AND WE'VE BEEN GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO NOT SEE THEM SOMETIMES.

SO THIS IS A LOVE SONG, BUT IT'S TO TWO OF THE LOVES OF MY LIFE.

[PLAYING "LIKE THE FIRST TIME"] AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, WE NEED EACH OTHER FOR A MILLION REASONS WE CAN'T EVEN NAME AND ALL OUR ROADS STILL LEAD TO ONE ANOTHER AND FOR ALL WE'VE BEEN APART, WE'RE STILL THE SAME AND WONDERING IF WE'RE LOST IN AN ILLUSION ARE WE STARTING NOW?

OR DID WE NEVER END?

OUR SEPARATE DREAMS HAVE REACHED THE SAME CONCLUSION AND THEY'VE BROUGHT US HERE TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN LIKE THE FIRST TIME ONLY BETTER WE'RE A SONG THAT MUST BE SUNG TOGETHER LIKE THE FIRST TIME, ONLY THIS TIME COULD IT BE FOREVER?

IN THE HONESTY OF NOW WITH YOU BESIDE ME THERE'S AN EASE TO LOVE WE'VE NEVER KNOWN BEFORE AND THOUGH I KNOW THE PAST IS STILL INSIDE ME I FEEL AS IF I'VE NEVER LOVED YOU MORE LIKE THE FIRST TIME, ONLY BETTER WE'RE A SONG THAT MUST BE SUNG TOGETHER LIKE THE FIRST TIME, ONLY THIS TIME IT CAN BE FOREVER FOREVER [APPLAUSE] THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICES IS PART OF THE GLUE THAT HOLDS US TOGETHER BECAUSE WE KNOW THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE FROM THE WAY IN WHICH YOU SING.

WE KNOW THAT WE COULD INVITE YOU TO OUR HOMES AND YOU'D HELP US DO THE DISHES.

WE ALSO KNOW...

THE KIND OF HEARTS YOU'VE GOT BECAUSE IT'S DUE TO A PARTICULAR PHENOMENON.

YOU SEE, WE GROW UP, AND WE LEARN HOW TO LIE WITH THE SPOKEN WORD, AND WE HEAR A LOT OF LIES WITH THE SPOKEN WORD FROM MANY PEOPLE IN SOCIETY.

EVEN PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN'T BE LYING WITH THE SPOKEN WORD DO SO, BUT THE SUNG WORD, IT'S VERY HARD TO LIE WITH YOUR VOICE WHEN YOU'RE SINGING.

YOU REALLY HEAR WHAT'S INSIDE YOU, AND BECAUSE WE KNOW ABOUT YOU IN THAT WAY, THAT'S THE GLUE.

I THINK THIS PHENOMENON IS SO IMPORTANT THAT I THINK THAT AT LEAST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO SING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC BEFORE AN ELECTION COMES.

[APPLAUSE] [IMITATING RICHARD NIXON] PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON [NORMAL VOICE] MIGHT HAVE CHANGED HISTORY, RIGHT?

ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE GLUE THAT HOLDS US TOGETHER IS OUR BAND.

SOME SAY WE HAVE THE BEST BAND OF ANY GROUP IN AMERICA.

THEY CALL HIM THE FOURTH VOICE OF PETER, PAUL & MARY, BUT WE CALL HIM...

WHENEVER WE'RE GONNA PERFORM BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM AND HIS MUSIC.

HIS NAME IS DICK KNISS.

[APPLAUSE] ANOTHER ASPECT OF THAT GLUE THAT HOLDS US TOGETHER IS THAT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, WE REALLY DO FEEL LIKE FAMILY TO ONE ANOTHER.

IN THE CASE OF THIS NEXT PERSON THAT I'M GOING TO INTRODUCE AND MYSELF, WE LOOK MORE AND MORE LIKE BROTHERS AS THE YEARS PASS BY.

IT COULD'VE HAPPENED IN A DIFFERENT WAY, BUT I'LL TAKE IT.

I AM PROUD AND PLEASED TO HAVE THIS PERSON AS A FRIEND.

HE IS LIKE A BROTHER TO ME.

HIS NAME IS NOEL PAUL STOOKEY.

[APPLAUSE] LOVE IS A PRETTY POWERFUL THING.

WE FIND IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS, AND SOME OF IT IS SO AWKWARD AND STUMBLING WHEN WE'RE YOUNGER, YOU KNOW, WE ACCEPT ANY REASONABLE SUBSTITUTE, ACTUALLY.

EVEN A GOOD BAR OF CANDY WILL DO WHEN WE'RE--HA HA!

BUT IN THAT SEARCH FOR TRUTH-- IT'S INTERESTING-- IN MY LIFE, I BECAME AWARE THAT THERE WERE TWO TRUTHS.

THERE WAS THE ETERNAL TRUTH, THE ULTIMATE ONE THAT WE ALL GET A GLIMMER OF AND WE ALL HAVE ACCESS TO, BUT THEN THERE'S THIS ONE CALL SUBJECTIVE TRUTH, THE ONE THAT WE FIND FOR OURSELVES.

IT HAPPENS AT MID-LIFE CRISES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU SAY, "I'M BEING TRUTHFUL TO MYSELF," BUT THEN, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, IT BORDERS ON NARCISSISM AT A CERTAIN POINT.

THE FIRST TIME I DISCOVERED IT WAS WHEN I REALIZED THAT AT A GATHERING OF PEOPLE WHEN SOMEONE WAS TALKING TO ME-- I THOUGHT IT WAS SENILITY, BUT I WAS ONLY ABOUT 38, YOU UNDERSTAND-- SOMEBODY WOULD BE TALKING TO ME, AND MY BRAIN WOULD GO... [HUMMING "THE TWILIGHT ZONE THEME"] AND THEY WERE STANDING THERE GOING, "BLABBER, BLABBER, WOKY, WOKY," YOU KNOW, AND MY EYES WERE THERE.

I WAS LOOKING, AND I WAS NODDING, BUT MY BRAIN WAS OVER AT THE PUNCH BOWL, YOU KNOW?

WELL, I WAS BROUGHT UP BY THE SHORT HAIRS WHEN THIS PERSON WENT, "NAMA SLAMA GOBBER NAMEN, HUH?"

AND I REALIZED THEY'D ASKED ME A QUESTION, AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY HAD JUST ASKED ME.

I WAS FACED WITH-- NOW, I COULD'VE SAID, "I'M SORRY.

"MY BRAIN WAS THAT THE PUNCH BOWL.

COULD YOU ASK ME THAT AGAIN?"

BUT IN MY YOUNGER DAYS, I WOULD'VE TRIED TO BLUFF MY WAY THROUGH IT, YOU KNOW, BY SAYING, "OH, THAT'S AN INTERESTING WAY TO PHRASE THAT.

"PERHAPS IF YOU COULD PLACE THAT "IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, I COULD GIVE YOU A BROADER ANSWER."

THEN THE GUY LOOKS AT YOU LIKE YOU'RE FROM MARS, YOU KNOW, AND HE SAYS, "ALL RIGHT.

WHAT ARE THE AGES OF YOUR CHILDREN?"

HA HA HA!

BLBLBLBLBLBLBL!

OF COURSE, CULTURE DOESN'T HELP US A LOT, YOU KNOW, DEVELOP THIS TRUTHFUL STYLE, I MEAN, EVEN THE AIRLINES.

HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT THE AIRLINES HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW LANGUAGE?

IT'S CALLED SECOND PERSON REMOVED.

THEY SAY THEY WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO NASHVILLE, BUT THEY NEVER DO.

"WE'D LIKE TO WELCOME YOU TO NASHVILLE."

EVEN THE CAPTAINS ARE IN ON IT.

"WE'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR FLYING UNTIED."

I KEEP EXPECTING THEM TO FINISH THE SENTENCE, YOU KNOW?

"BUT YOU'RE ALL SUCH A BUNCH OF BOZOS, WE'RE GONNA TAKE A PASS."

THINK IT MUST'VE STARTED WITH MAGAZINES.

WE SHOULD'VE LOOKED CLOSELY AT MAGAZINES.

I MEAN, IN THE FIFTIES, MAGAZINE WAS CALLED "LIFE," AND THAT'S WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.

HOW BROAD CAN YOU BE?

HOW ACCESSIBLE.

"LIFE."

THEN IN THE SIXTIES, A NEW MAGAZINE CAME OUT CALLED "PEOPLE."

PEOPLE ARE A LARGE PART OF LIFE--IT'S TRUE-- BUT THEY'RE NOT EVERYTHING THERE IS IN LIFE, AND THEN THE NEXT MAGAZINE THAT CAME OUT IN THE SEVENTIES, IT SURELY SHOULD'VE TOLD US.

IT WAS CALLED "US."

THAT'S RIGHT.

NOW, US IS STILL PEOPLE, TOO, ONLY, YOU SEE, IT'S NOT THEM.

IT'S ONLY US.

THEN ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, I SAW A NEW MAGAZINE ON THE STAND CALLED "SELF."

I KNEW WE WERE IN TROUBLE THEN.

ANY DAY NOW, I EXPECT TO GET A MAGAZINE-- [APPLAUSE] ANY DAY NOW, I EXPECT TO GET A MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION, AN OFFER FOR A MAGAZINE CALLED "ME!

", RIGHT, AND WHEN YOU GET IT, IT'S JUST 20 PAGES OF REYNOLDS WRAP.

YOU OPEN IT UP, AND YOU GO...

I GUESS I JUST WANT TO GIVE THANKS FOR THIS SONG.

I HAD NO IDEA, AND I SUPPOSE THE BEST THINGS IN OUR LIVES HAPPEN WHEN THERE IS NO THOUGHT OF WHAT THE REWARD WILL BE BUT ONLY BECAUSE WE FOLLOW OUR HEARTS, AND SO-- [PERSON CLAPS] AW, COME ON.

AND SO I'D LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS SONG TONIGHT TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO GOT MARRIED BY IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT ONLY A TRIBUTE TO THEIR WEDDING, BUT IT IS ALSO, I THINK, THE CALLING OF US ALL TO A LARGER WEDDING CEREMONY.

[PLAYING "WEDDING SONG (THERE IS LOVE)"] HE IS NOW TO BE AMONG YOU AT THE CALLING OF YOUR HEARTS REST ASSURED THIS TROUBADOUR IS ACTING ON HIS PART THE UNION OF YOUR SPIRITS HERE HAS CAUSED HIM TO REMAIN FOR WHENEVER TWO OR MORE OF YOU ARE GATHERED IN HIS NAME THERE IS LOVE THERE IS LOVE WELL, A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS MOTHER AND A WOMAN LEAVE HER HOME THEY SHALL TRAVEL ON TO WHERE THE TWO SHALL BE AS ONE AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING IS NOW UNTIL THE END WOMAN DRAWS HER LIFE FROM MAN AND GIVES IT BACK AGAIN AND THERE IS LOVE THERE IS LOVE OH, THEN WHAT'S TO BE THE REASON FOR BECOMING MAN AND WIFE?

IS IT LOVE THAT BRINGS YOU HERE OR LOVE THAT BRINGS YOU LIFE?

FOR IF LOVING IS THE ANSWER THEN WHO'S THE GIVING FOR?

DO YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE?

OH, THERE'S LOVE OH, THERE'S LOVE [HUMMING] YES, THE MARRIAGE OF YOUR SPIRITS HERE HAS CAUSED HIM TO REMAIN FOR WHENEVER TWO OR MORE OF YOU ARE GATHERED IN HIS NAME THERE IS LOVE THERE IS LOVE [APPLAUSE] [PLAYING "LEAVING ON A JET PLANE"] [APPLAUSE] ALL MY BAGS ARE PACKED, I'M READY TO GO I'M STANDING HERE OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR I HATE TO WAKE YOU UP TO SAY GOODBYE BUT THE DAWN IS BREAKING, IT'S EARLY MORN THE TAXI'S WAITING, HE'S BLOWIN' HIS HORN ALREADY I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY SO KISS ME AND SMILE FOR ME TELL ME THAT YOU'LL WAIT FOR ME HOLD ME LIKE YOU'LL NEVER LET ME GO 'CAUSE I'M LEAVING ON A JET PLANE I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL BE BACK AGAIN OH, BABE, I HATE TO GO THERE'S SO MANY TIMES I'VE LET YOU DOWN SO MANY TIMES I'VE PLAYED AROUND I TELL YOU NOW, THEY DON'T MEAN A THING OH, THEY DON'T MEAN A THING 'CAUSE EVERY PLACE I GO, I THINK OF YOU EVERY SONG I SING, I SING FOR YOU WHEN I COME BACK, I'LL WEAR YOUR RING SO KISS ME AND SMILE FOR ME TELL ME THAT YOU'LL WAIT FOR ME HOLD ME LIKE YOU'LL NEVER LET ME GO 'CAUSE I'M LEAVING ON A JET PLANE I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL BE BACK AGAIN OH, BABE, I HATE TO GO NOW THE TIME HAS COME TO LEAVE YOU ONE MORE TIME LET ME KISS YOU THEN CLOSE YOUR EYES I'LL BE ON MY WAY AND DREAM ABOUT THE DAYS TO COME WHEN I WON'T HAVE TO LEAVE ALONE ABOUT THE TIMES, I WON'T HAVE TO SAY I WON'T HAVE TO SAY "KISS ME AND SMILE FOR ME "TELL ME THAT YOU'LL WAIT FOR ME HOLD ME LIKE YOU'LL NEVER LET ME GO" 'CAUSE I'M LEAVING ON A JET PLANE DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL BE BACK AGAIN LEAVING ON A JET PLANE DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL BE BACK AGAIN LEAVING ON A JET PLANE I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'LL BE BACK AGAIN OH, BABE, I STILL HATE TO GO [APPLAUSE] [PLAYING "IF I HAD A HAMMER"] IF I HAD A HAMMER I'D HAMMER IN THE MORNING I'D HAMMER IN THE EVENING ALL OVER THIS LAND I'D HAMMER OUT DANGER I'D HAMMER OUT A WARNING I'D HAMMER OUT LOVE BETWEEN MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS ALL OVER THIS LAND OOH IF I HAD A BELL I'D RING IT IN THE MORNING I'D RING IT IN THE EVENING ALL OVER THIS LAND I'D RING OUT DANGER I'D RING OUT A WARNING I'D RING OUT LOVE BETWEEN MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS ALL OVER THIS LAND OOH IF I HAD A SONG Audience: I'D SING IT IN THE MORNING I'D SING IT IN THE EVENING ALL OVER THIS LAND I'D SING OUT DANGER I'D SING OUT WARNING I'D SING OUT LOVE BETWEEN MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS ALL OVER THIS LAND OOH WELL, I GOT A HAMMER I GOT A BELL I GOT A SONG TO SING ALL OVER THIS LAND IT'S THE HAMMER OF JUSTICE IT'S THE BELL OF FREEDOM IT'S A SONG ABOUT LOVE BETWEEN MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS ALL OVER THIS LAND IT'S THE HAMMER OF JUSTICE IT'S THE BELL OF FREEDOM IT'S A SONG ABOUT LOVE BETWEEN MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS ALL OVER THIS LAND [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
