Candles burning in the night

Just like a child's life

We've got to save them

Candles burning in the night

Just like a child's life

We've got to save them

Jah in all my days

I'm so ashamed

To see what's really happening

They're running all about

They're so out of order

And have no behaviour

Candles burning in the night

Just like a child's life

We've got to save them

Candles burning at both ends

How can they last the night

Jah give I the knowledge now

To expect that which I cannot change

Give I the wisdom

To know the difference

And give I the courage

To change what I can

Candles burning in the night

Just like a child's life

We've got to save them

Candles burning at both ends

How can they ever expect to learn

If they don't listen

How can they ever expect to learn

If they don't look and see

Experiences of life

Have taught them nothing

They know not that it is they

And them alone

Can set us free

Candles burning in the night

Just like a child's life

We've got to save them

Candles burning at both ends

How can they last the night

Never last the night

Never last the night that way
