Candle Song
sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Seven little candles in a row,
Waiting to join the holiday glow.
We will light them one by one,
Until all seven have joined the fun.
Seven little candles burning bright
Filling the world with holiday light.
7 Candles in a Row
Seven candles in a row,
Waiting to join the holiday glow.
First night we light a candle for Umoja
It's candle number one,
Kwanzaa has now begun.
The second night we light a candle for kujichagulia,
It's candle number two,
Kwanzaa's here and there's lots to do.
The third night we light a candle for Ujima
It's candle number three,
Kwanzaa's here and there's lots to see.
The fourth night we light a candle for Ujamaa,
it's candle number four,
Burning brightly as part of Kwanzaa lore.
The fifth night we light a candle for Nia,
It's candle number five,
Kwanzaa has really come alive.
The sixth night we light a candle for Kuumba,
It's candle number six,
Kwanzaa's here and there's food to fix.
The seventh night we light a candle for Imani,
It's candle number seven,
Now the glow of all the Kwanzaa candles reaches up to Heaven.
Shining in the Kinara
One little, two little, three little candles
Four little, five little, six little candles
Seven little candles shine for Kwanzaa
Shining in the kinara.
Three little red and three little green ones
Black in the middle shines a little taller
Shine little candles, shine for Kwanzaa
Shining in the kinara
I Can't Wait
sung to Three Blind Mice
I can't wait,
I can't wait
To celebrate,
To celebrate.
We'll gather with friends and family,
We'll eat all the food eventually
Special corn for kids like me,
I can't wait.
Red, green, black
Red, green, black
Let's give a cheer
Kwanzaa's here.
The decorations are quite a sight.
We'll light a candle every night.
The holiday is filled with light.
Kwanzaa's here.
