A LOVING CANDLE

We thought we’d change the world.
It’s sad to watch
The tapestry unfurl.
It’s a crazy game
With all its ‘sound and fury’.
Don’t give up
We’ll still can change this story.
Times have to change
They change so slowly
Hold close your dreams
They roly-poly.
Times have to change
It’s almost holy.
Hold close your dreams
They roly-poly
It’s possible,
Though the odds seem stacked against.
For us to change
Listen to that extra sense.
Look deeper now
There’s something in your soul.
A loving candle
That can lead us to our goal.
(BRIDGE)
Don’t give up,
There’s a dream beneath the dross.
It’s up to you
There’s a bridge we all can cross.
Don’t believe
That nothing will ever give.
In your hearts,
That’s where the answer lives.
