There are four candles burning,
with a message for you to see.
You can learn the truth,
what life was meant to be.
The first candle proclaimed,
I am JOY that you need today.
But no one cares to listen,
so my flame has gone away.
The second candle was next,
I am PEACE to bring you harmony.
But they chose to hate instead,
so my flame has gone out of me.
The third candle said I am LOVE,
for those who are torn apart.
But they chose to ignore me,
I can no longer warm the heart.
I stood there in disbelief,
and wonder what this is about.
I didn't understand,
why the three flames would go out.
The fourth candle said there's time,
while my candle has some light.
I am HOPE that still flickers,
you can use me tonight.
So I took the candle of HOPE,
to light the other three.
The message was clear,
there's still hope inside of me.
When I lit each candle,
of JOY, PEACE, and LOVE.
I can get all three,
when I pray to GOD above.
