A candle burns

Straight to heaven

So a soul can see

On its lowly journey
 

A candle burns

On a window sill

An earthly eye

That looks up for forgiveness
 

A candle burns

That lights the room

Shadows cast by lives still beating

Praying for those gone
 

A candle burns

Giving refuge from the darkness

That steals the hearts of men

From holding their own light
 

A candle burns

That turns no one away

So a soul can reach heaven

And complete its journey
