Candles burning in the night
|
Just like a child's life
|
We've got to save them
|
Candles burning in the night
|
Just like a child's life
|
We've got to save them
|
Jah in all my days
|
I'm so ashamed
|
To see what's really happening
|
They're running all about
|
They're so out of order
|
And have no behaviour
|
Candles burning in the night
|
Just like a child's life
|
We've got to save them
|
Candles burning at both ends
|
How can they last the night
|
Jah give I the knowledge now
|
To expect that which I cannot change
|
Give I the wisdom
|
To know the difference
|
And give I the courage
|
To change what I can
|
Candles burning in the night
|
Just like a child's life
|
We've got to save them
|
Candles burning at both ends
|
How can they ever expect to learn
|
If they don't listen
|
How can they ever expect to learn
|
If they don't look and see
|
Experiences of life
|
Have taught them nothing
|
They know not that it is they
|
And them alone
|
Can set us free
|
Candles burning in the night
|
Just like a child's life
|
We've got to save them
|
Candles burning at both ends
|
How can they last the night
|
