Light a Candle

What are we supposed to do
In the wake of a loss so devastating
It's getting hard to move
Paralysis sets in where hope is fading

And sometimes all this pain and sadness
Is more than a heart can handle
But I'm tired of cursing at the darkness
I'm gonna light a candle

I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light a candle

We're not drowning in our tears
Oh but there sure have been enough to drown in
It's hard to face the day from here
Where it looks like the night has it surrounded

But sometimes all this pain and sadness
Is more than a heart can handle
But I'm tired of cursing at the darkness
I'm gonna light a candle

I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light a candle

I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light a candle

She has her mother's eyes
And every morning he walks in to get her
He lights a little fire
When he holds her to his chest as if to tell her

Sometimes all this pain and sadness
Is more than a heart can handle
But I'm tired of cursing at the darkness
I'm gonna light a candle

I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light a candle

I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light a candle

I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light
I'm gonna light a candle
