Candles
A thousand candles in the sky
A million more flames burning high
Ten streams of wax represent how you sinned
One single wick extinguished by the wind
A thousand candles in the trees
A million more flames burning these
Ten streams of wax represent how you hurt
One single wick extinguished by the dirt
A thousand candles in the pond
A million more flames burning beyond
Ten streams of wax represent all your pain
One single wick extinguished by the rain
A thousand candles in the home
A million more flames burning the dome
Ten streams of wax represent what you stole
One single wick extinguished by the soul
A thousand candles in the night
A million more flames burning bright
Ten streams of wax represent how you felt
One single wick extinguished by itself
