White Candle

why are you so stable,
when it only ever really makes you sad?
if you’re young and more than able
do not fear the things you’ve never had
but now with the times ingrained in us,
i find it hard to laugh
parliament locked up the gates
and everyone’s turning their backs
on what we have.
its not enough.
what more can i give than to give up
its not good to bank your anger
when your baby brother swears he needs you more
than ever
before i was a mother
the weight of the world was more than i could bear
but now that i have played the part
its your turn to do the same
there are people out there, dying to meet you
can make the change, you’ll do great
i have faith
that you’ll be somebody, one of these days
white candle of the night
the rain stole your light
and you’re older than you’ve ever felt before
but you’ll learn to live the same maybe more
child, dreams may deceive
but you’ll always have a right to your trying
darkness may be on your mind
but your friends provide the light through hard times
you just can’t understand
how they go through life so calm
kicking back on pavement yards all glasses up til dawn
well you dont know how they do it so long
you’ve never fear eyes come
white candle of the night
the rain stole your light
and you’re older than you’ve ever felt before
but you’ll learn to live the same maybe more
you might be somebody one of these days
you might be someday one of these days
you might be someday one of these days
