Faithful reasons still unknown

And hope lies freezing in the midnight air

Their freedom light don’t shine at all

So I will light a candle for you
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7
And keep it burning in the night

And pray that you’re all right

I will light a candle for you

A little candle burning bright
Verse 2:
When schoolyard heroes disappear
The little girl she stands alone

A prayer can help to get her home (yeah)
