Sarah
I’ll light a candle in your name
Child envisaged in flickering flame
You’ve found a peace that I never will
Your vision one that haunts me still

I listened to your final words
Listened to calm all your nerves
Asking now if I made mistakes
Whispered torment, it breaks

Find something the darkness can’t take
Something to guard, from ghosts we make
A day won’t pass, when it doesn’t break
Find something, the darkness, can’t take
It breaks. It breaks.

I’ll light a candle in your name
Remember what we lost in vein
In a world that lets it’s children die
With no remorse or questions why

I listened to your final breath
Listened as you payed our debt
Believing it was your only escape
A fragile child, it breaks

Find something, the darkness can’t take
Something to guard, from ghosts we make
A day won’t pass, when it doesn’t break
Find something, the darkness, can’t take
It breaks. It breaks.

I’ll light a candle in your name
Compose a hymn from the flame
Song is something it cannot break
You name in words it cannot take
