Candle Burning

Candles burning, burning

Candles burning

Candles burning, burning

Candles burning

Out of darkness the spark of light travels

As the drum, it pulls you in, travels

And once it begins nothing's left behind

From this moment in space, our place, our time

Travels

Travels

With illusion surrounding you, a vision will come, a vision will come

When the darkness surrounds you, a vision will come, a vision will come

And at that moment you realize

Every beginning has its ending line

And we're only aware of

A brief and sudden moment in this place, place

Youth go wake up the elders

They will come and remind us of the answers

You alone them say, shining

For out of this small light you must make it greater

Greater! The pot will overflow

Wake Up! Wake Up!

Ye slumbering souls

Like in testimonial times of old

Calling the lion, yea!

Calling the lion

Keep the candle burning, pass it around

Keep the candle burning, pass it around

Keep the candle burning, pass it around

Keep the candle burning, pass it around

Oh! Spirit driver come for me

Spark to flame it is a legacy

Out of the darkest of dark Jah still provide

Beginning with a lightning strike!

Beyond the great oak tree

A lonely candle burns! Oh JAH!

Keep the candle burning, pass it around

Keep the candle burning, pass it around

Keep the candle burning, pass it around

Keep the candle burning, pass it around

Candle burning, burning
