Light a Candle

This is a thoughtful song apropriate for funerals and wakes or any time introspection
and reflection happens to be the mood of the room or your heart at the time.
Note- In the chorus the C has been put in place of the Am to give a added lift to the chorus.
EmInstead of cursing the darkness
AmLight a candle for where we’re going
EmThere’s something aB7head worth looking Emfor
EmWhen the line of time is on us
AmWe will see our moment come
EmAnd the living soul B7inside will carry Emon
It’s a chaCnce to give new meaEmning
To eveDry move we mEmade
Through the cCaverns and the Emcaves
Where we come fDrom A
(Fill Lick)
Slide guitar solo:
Em Am Em B7 Em
When the light of dawn is on us
We will see what we can be
And the ancient ones can sleep an easy sleep
In the hallways of the ages
On the road to history
What we do now will always be with us
It’s a chance to give new meaning
To every move we made
Through the caverns and the caves
Where we come from
Instead of cursing the darkness
Light a candle for where we’re going
There’s something ahead worth looking for
When the line of time is on us
We will see our moment come
And the living soul inside will carry on
Light a candle in the darkness
So others might see ahead
Light a candle in the darkness
When you go
