I lit a little candle
oh so long ago
just a little flicker
that within my heart did glow
Such a tiny flame
to stand against the wind
buried deep within my soul
it's warmth it did lend
When darkness is all around me
and I have lost my way
it's light it did surround me
as bright as any day
Such a little candle
to burn through all the years
never did once it waver
even through all the tears
