Candles - Remastered Album Version

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
