The candle burns as it goes
Rushing down the river, oh
And we all want to catch it
As it floats on the sea
And we can only watch as it burns
Burns into the sky
Burns into another's life
A candle burns as it floats
Rushing through the town waters
And they all want to find it
As it floats on the sea
And they can only ask as it burns
Burns into the night
Burns into another's life
A candle burns as it floats
Gliding through the stream
All the people watch as it seems
As it floats on the sea
And they can only guess as it burns
Burns into their sky
Burns into another's life
A candle burns as it floats
And everyone can only watch, find, ask and guess
We can only do so, as it burns
A candle burns as it floats
Down the sea
Down the rivers
Down the stream
Into our hearts
I was listening to a war report and felt upset. I think war is a crime. But I can't go to the country, put a warning into the general's head and say CALL IT OFF! It doesn't work that way. So here is to faith.

We all want that candle

For it is hope...
