The Silence of a Candle Songtext
von Ralph Towner

Two hands
Split
Two hands humans
Humans making humans
Mountains
Maybe we can move them
Come now
Together we can do this

Together we can
Take my hand
Take my hand
Come on and sing it with me now

Together we can
Light your candles and stand
Those that came before man
Come on and sing it with me now


Come on light the candle
Then curse the darkness
Then curse the darkness
Come on light the candle
Then curse the darkness
Then curse the darkness

And breathing
Give thanks for the forgiving
Listen
All the songs I′m singing
We can
Do something or do nothing
So come now
Strike them down let's do this

Together we can
Take my hand
Take my hand
Come on and sing it with me now

Together we can
Light your candles and stand
Those that came before man
Come on and sing it with me now

Come on light the candle
Then curse the darkness
Then curse the darkness


Come on light the candle
Then curse the darkness
Then curse the darkness

Ay-e-e-e-e-e

Come on and sing it with me now

Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h

Come on and sing it with me now

Together we can
Take my hand
Take my hand
Come on and sing it with me now

Together we can
Light your candles and stand
Those that came before man
Come on and sing it with me now

Come on light the candle
Then curse the darkness
Then curse the darkness
Come on light the candle
Then curse the darkness
Then curse the darkness

Come on light the candle
Then curse the darkness
Then curse the darkness
Come on light the candle
Then curse the darkness
Then curse the darkness
