Candle
My candle is my way of life.
It sees me through the darkness
And even through the light.
But forever burning with me
My candle flames tonight.
Through my darkest hour
It shares with me my thoughts.
My feelings of hatred, of pain, and of loss.
But forever burning with me
My candle flames tonight.
For without my candle
I would never see
What lies ahead of me or is coming in the night.
Every time I see my candle’s bold little flame
It gives me courage to go on.
For even though the wind blows
My candle never dies.
But forever burning with me
My candle flames tonight.
Forever burn my candle
For I need you most tonight.
