You might want to check this one out as well:
"Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)"
She wrote it as a tribute to the audience at Woodstock who braved the weather to watch her perform (in the rain).
She is backed by The Edwin Hawkins Singer who are known in there own right for the earlier "Oh Happy Day"
I've been listening to music long enough that I remember when "Brand New Key" was new!

CANDLES IN THE RAIN
Little sisters of the sun lit
Candles in the rain
Fed the world on oats and raisins
Candles in the rain
Lit the fire to the soul
Who never knew his friends
Meher Baba lives again
Candles in the rain
To be there is to remember
Lay it down again
Lay down
Lay down
Lay it down again
Men can live as brothers
Candles in the rain...
LAY DOWN (CANDLES IN THE RAIN)
(chorus)
Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each others wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
chorus
So raise the candles high cause if you
Don't we could stay black against the night
Oh raise them higher again and if you
Do we could stay dry against the rain
chorus
We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each others wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise the candles high
Cause if you don't we could stay
Black against the sky
Oh oh raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain
chorus
