I carried you in my arms
|
Through the hotel to our room
|
The night was filled with music
|
Those old historic tunes
|
Songs of revolution
|
Filled our hearts and fed our souls
|
As the fireworks exploded
|
Like those cannons long ago
|
|
See the kids in the candlelight
|
Spirits on the mend
|
Every golden child tonight
|
Just changes on the wind
|
See the kids in the candlelight
|
See 'em shining bright
|
Innocence beyond the fight
|
See the kids in the candlelight
|
|
Five hundred wooden saints below
|
The color's cracked and dry
|
You said their stories should be told
|
Did they suffer when they died?
|
Give us your tradition
|
Give us hope and send us home
|
We'll be the cracked bells tolling
|
The voice of dust and bones
|
|
See the kids in the candlelight
|
Spirits on the mend
|
Every golden child tonight
|
Just changes on the wind
|
See the kids in the candlelight
|
See 'em shining bright
|
Innocence beyond the fight
|
See the kids in the candlelight
|
|
The pillow that you dream on
|
Lies rolled up on the floor
|
You tossed it at the TV screen
|
At the drug lord and his war
|
Thinking of the courtyard
|
Forced a tear from your eye
|
The white shirts in the moonlight
|
The warm forgiving smiles
|
|
See the kids in the candlelight
|
Spirits on the mend
|
Every golden child tonight
|
Just changes on the wind
|
See the kids in the candlelight
|
See 'em shining bright
|
Innocence beyond the fight
|
See the kids in the candlelight
|
|
Yea, yea, yea [x2]
