Let Love Be Your Candle

When your eyes are open, but life looks dark,
prospects seem slim, the future appears stark,
and the innocence of youth lost its spark.
Let love be your candle.
If the stars fail to pierce ebony skies
or the light within your soul ever dies,
and a silent darkness smothers your cries.
Let love be your candle.
Should you ever be blinded by the night,
and find you're in desperate need of light
to identify what is wrong from right.
Let love be your candle.
If you are lost and feel the need to scream,
walking through broken fragments of a dream
and wandering aimlessly scheme to scheme.
Let love be your candle.
When your soul enters the darkness of death,
it may feel frightening, as if on meth,
but don't worry beyond your final breath.
Let love be your candle.
