Candle in the Dark

[Verse 1] You were staring at the ceiling Counting cracks instead of stars Thinking maybe you were meant To live small in the dark But even in a matchbox Hidden on a shelf There’s a spark that keeps on breathing All by itself [Chorus] You’re a candle in the dark Little flame Little heart You don’t see how far your quiet fire goes Every shadow on the wall Starts to tremble when you glow You were made to burn in love Till the room turns into gold Light in the darkness That’s your soul [Verse 2] All the words they threw like water Never put your fire out You kept shivering in silence Wearing every doubt But every time you chose to stay When you could have run You showed just how Strong you are [Chorus] You’re a candle in the dark Little flame Little heart You don’t see how far your quiet fire goes Every shadow on the wall Starts to tremble when you glow You were made to burn in love Till the room turns into gold Light in the darkness That’s your soul [Bridge] One light on Then another Then another (oh) See the whole world Bloom in color All this time You were waiting for a sign But the world my dear Was waiting for you [Chorus] You’re a candle in the dark Little flame Little heart You don’t see how far your quiet fire goes Every shadow on the wall Starts to tremble when you glow You were made to burn in love Till the room turns into gold Light in the darkness That’s your soul
