Candlelight Vigil
They stand in fragile circles
Lighting candles for their dead
As the memories that float on the breeze
Are all that they have left
The tears that pass between them
Have a somber silence that's deafening
You can feel the souls they're crying for
Touch them on the winds of change
As they light another candle
Another day goes by
With the tears that keep on flowing
Where they are forced to wonder why
