CANDLE LIGHT BURN BRIGHT
LIGHT THE DARK OF THE NIGHT
SWEETEN THE MIND HELP TO FIND
IN A QUIET ROOM OF MEDITATION
A DIFFERENT WAY A DIFFERENT TYPE OF DAY
A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PERSON
YOU MAY ASK, WHO ME – I SAY YES YOU
WHAT WOULD YOU SOONER DO
MAYBE IT WOULD PLEASE YOU
TO BURN YOUR FINGERS ON THE FLAME OF LIFE
YOU WOULD SAY NO THAT IS NOT SO
BUT IT IS TRUE OF YOU THAT YOU BURN YOUR HEARTS
WITH THE LIVES THAT YOU LEAD
IN THE HARDNESS YOU HAVE EACH DAY
IT TRULY MAKES YOU BLEED
BUT IN YOUR MINDS SO FULL OF THOUGHT
YOU DO DECEIVE YOURSELVES
FOR IN THE THOUGHTS OF MOST OF MANKIND
YOU WILL FIND A NEED, A GREED
TO FULFIL A CONSTANT DESIRE TO WANT MORE
YOU MAY SAY; THIS IS NOT ME
BUT IF YOU WERE TO LOOK DEEP INSIDE
WHAT TRUTH THERE WOULD YOU FIND
FOR YOU MAY LIE TO YOURSELF AND TO OTHERS TOO
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY TELL ME TRUE
WHAT DO LIES DO FOR YOU FOR WHEN YOU RETURN HOME
YOUR TRUTH, IT IS KNOWN
*********
SEEN ARE OUR ACTIONS TO OTHERS
LEAST WE HIDE THEM FROM OUR OWN SIGHT
FOR MANY CAN BE SO UNSPEAKABLE
LOUD AND CLEAR ARE OUR WORDS SAID TO OTHERS
LEAST WE HIDE THEM FROM OUR OWN HEARING
FOR MANY ARE UNPRINTABLE
OUR ACTIONS ARE FELT BY OTHERS
LEAST WE HIDE BEHIND THE THOUGHT TO DO THEM
FOR MANY ARE SO UNCHARITABLE
