light a candle planting poison where a crop would grow while many people go hungry and cold it's safe they say, but everybody knows we can't believe what we're told in the sky i see a cloud hangs over freedom like a shroud while those who know (enough to say) will race with time to get away do we bow our heads to the lie? or shake our fists and demand to know why we don't know how to put out the fire they say the cloud won't come this way but if it does, it'll be too late that one may fade but more may follow and it could happen tomorrow do we bow our heads to the lie? or shake our fists and demand to know why we don't know how to put out the fire still some can be so so cold they'd destroy it all for a cup of gold we've gotta fight them to the end and light our candles in the wind i'm gonna light a candle come on and light a candle you light yours and i'll light mine we're gonna see this world shine light a candle light a candle in the wind Written by Karen Savoca ©1993 Alcove/BMI gil castle - drums pete heitzman - guitars karen savoca - harmonica, percussion t-bone wolk - bass, 12-string
