Candle Of Hope

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pink Floyd)

CANDLE OF HOPE
(Lyrics by Curtis Ayles)

My heart is like a lonely island
A broken toy left on your shelf
And all it tries to say or just remind me
To sing a song about myself
Good Heaven, do you want to scare me?
So, will you kill or save my soul?
Don’t need to say there’s no chance for me
To find a way that takes me home

No, I don’t want to live forever
But let me live while I’m alive
These are the words I send to heaven
Let a candle of hope shine all my life
This candle shines thru’ my life

I’ve been deceived by my delusions
I’ve been a victim of my sins
Hoping to get your forgiveness and maybe absolution
Deep down I feel my heart will do it all again
I’ve got myself to blame for all I’ve done in lifetime
I’ve been so blind hoping that all it’s left behind
So, will I leave this world being a killer or a hero?
It’s a question that lives on inside my mind

No, I don’t want to live forever
But let me live while I’m alive
These are the words I send to heaven
Let a candle of hope shine all my life
These are the words I say in prayer
This candle shines thru’ my life

God, I’m waiting for your answer

And I’ll say a prayer for all broken hearts
Who have lost or just been deprived of love
Mend my broken wings to prepare for a judgment day
When I meet my Maker looking in his eyes
I will say I’ve done all what I really could
But my restless soul would like to take an endless way

No, I don’t want to live forever
But let me live while I’m alive
These are the words I send to heaven
Let a candle of hope shine all my life
These are the words I say in prayer
This candle shines thru’ my life
