The Flame Songtext
von Michelle Malone

There′s too much darkness in here to see
And I'm so tired of all misery
Rolling thunder and driving rain
When every candle needs a flame

Don′t give me that bad news
I can't read it anymore
Ain't nothing but the sad blues
Piling up by my door
Trust is gone now but hope remains
When every candle needs a flame

When the ground drops out from beneath your shoes
Because your family, they didn′t stand by you
I took a gut punch down to my knees
And even the strangers came to comfort me


I′d rather take a long walk
If I'm gonna be alone
I can′t listen to the hate talk
Won't you come down off your throne
′Cause I'm no stranger, we share a name
And every candle needs a flame

The line is drawn now between you and me
Bitter fruit grows on the tree
You took my picture out of the frame
When every candle needs a flame

Oh, please light my flame
Oh, please light my flame
Oh, please light my flame
Oh, please light my flame
Oh, please light my flame
