In this world I light a candle
The flame that warms a soul
Wandering in the dark
on a path that seems quite cold

The melting of each minute
is a memory clinging on
until those times ebb down
and the stars seem nearly gone

Yet that fire is eternal
not bound to this reality
The next world patiently waits
and that is where it's guiding me

Light a candle for my soul
once I have left and gone away
It will burn to remind you
I was never meant to stay

Let one silent moment
pass by not disturbed
whisper your thoughts of me
and I shall hear each word
