I LIGHT THIS CANDLE

The Renaissance

I light this candle

with a wish

that I may travel on

to a higher place

I light this candle

at the time

of passing through a stage

let go and I move on

into the golden age

Chorus:

All my love

will melt the stone

held in a friendly hand

across the mountains

to the sea

the wind will kiss the sand

I light this candle

for my love

who hardly says a word

he looks with telling eyes

on the wings of snow white birds

I light this candle

with a thought

of how my life has grown

friends who gave hope and love

when I was far from home

Chorus
