O

We burn a candle
For time is now structured
isolated and trapped
Can time be permitted
 
We burn a candle
For past generations
For blindness regret
For mourning and crying
 
We burn a candle
For the unborn children
For the fearlessness
For hope and connection
 
We burn a candle
For space is not free
Our bodies not ours
Our minds on the task
 
We burn a candle
For your names and pasts
Which do not exist
We're all but a story
 
We burn a candle
Whatever you did
Wherever you are
Come find us and sit
 
We burn a candle
May death be a stage
Let's celebrate life
We're all merely players
 
We burn a candle
In silence and distance
We care for each other
May power diminish
 
We burn a candle
No power exists
It's all but a story
Come find us and sit
 
We burn a candle
May health be upon us
May violence meet kindness
May time be our time
 
We burn a candle
And sing on the inside
Let nature be felt
Through bricks of the city
 
We burn a candle
Wind takes flames to nothing
Let darkness be darkness
May midnight be ours
 
We burn a candle
For freedom of feeling
For walking the dog
Or walking with God
 
We burn a candle
For colour and colours
For sisters and mothers
For illegal love
 
We burn a candle
For rational minds
Working together
For outdated times
 
We burn a candle
Come find us in silence
Feel coldness and fire
You are never alone
