Sometimes a candle
Can be a torch
I’ll carry this one through the storm
Sometimes a candle
Is the only thing left
When nothing else can keep me warm
Sometimes a candle
Lights the way forward
On an ever-darkening path
Sometimes a candle
Lights the face of a lover
With a softness that nothing else can
Sometimes a candle
Stands up to the wind
Just to show how much it can take
Sometimes a candle
Is the means to a wish
On top of a birthday cake
Close your eyes
Make a wish
Blow it out
