Lyrics

Something you can't hide says you're lonely

Hidden deep inside of you only

It's there for you to see, take a look and be

Burn slowly, the candle of life

Something there outside says we're only

In the hands of time, falling slowly

It's there for us to know with love that we can go

Burn slowly, the candle of life

So love everybody and make them your friends

So love everybody and make them your friends

Something you can't hide says you're lonely

Hidden deep inside of you only

It's there for you to see, take a look and be

Burn slowly, the candle of life

Something there outside says we're only

In the hands of time, falling slowly

It's there for us to know with love that we can go

Burn slowly, the candle of life
