A Lamp on a Stand

If you set your lamp on the floor for yourself alone,
it can light nothing but your own feet.
If you set your lamp on a stand, it will light only the space around you.
But if everyone who carries a lamp
sets it on a stand, then in a place as bright as noon
you can work together for good,
and those who wandered in the darkness will see that bright light
and come running to you with thanks.
