Aswad - Candles

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 (on ya)
I'm so ashamed, to see what's really happening
(River run wild)
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?

(..)
Oh, oh well, ah
Oh yeah
Whoa yeah

Jah, give I the knowledge now (on ya)
To accept that which I cannot change
Give I the wisdom to know the difference
And give I the courage, to change what I can
Oh, oh

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?

No, no, no, no, no, never last the night
Oh no
No, no, no, no, never last the night
I tell you
But if you're running and you're running, oh yeah
A day it a go tumble down.. hey, hey
No way, ooh yeah, no way
You gonna win..
