Candles
Broken vows and shattered dreams
Bright future that suddenly dims
The heaviness of pain and sorrow
Making you feel like there’s no tomorrow
You start feeling you’re all alone
Facing this cruel world on your own
Everything is looking so bleak
You feel your soul getting very weak
At times like these just close your eyes
Listen to these words so wise
Touch a friend and see the spark
Friendship is like a candle in the dark
Touch more friends and it gets brighter
Making you feel a whole lot better
Until suddenly it’s dark no more
You have finally reached the shore
So when darkness falls do not fear
Think of friends who are sincere
Just reach out and touch a friend
Someone who will stand by you till the end
Let their laughter ring like bells
Light your way with friendship candles
