Our candlelit journey begins at our birth
We're Ignited with love from our point of creation.
we travel through life and exist on this earth
like a candle to shine and to promise salvation
We all need the darkness to see candlelight,
no matter how dark all your days might become.
The light from your candle will always be bright
all other flames start from the lighting of one
When young we're a candle, the wax straight and strong
our wick burns a flame that is always alight.
The older we get the more worn we become,
as the wax melts the flame doesn't burn quite so bright
Your candle, like you, has to fight to survive,
If left by a window a breeze could snuff out.
But flicker it will and remain just alive
andspread like a beacon, its light allabout
Be like the best candle you ever could be.
Be the light in the life of your friends,
live your life as a candle, your flame burning free
burn your candle of life from both ends!
