I light this candle With a wish That I may travel on To a higher place I light this candle At the time Of passing through a stage Let go and I move on Into the golden age All my love Will melt the stone Held in a friendly hand Across the mountains To the sea The wind will kiss the sand I light this candle For my love Who hardly says a word He looks with telling eyes On the wings of snow white birds I light this candle With a thought Of how my life has grown Friends who gave hope and love When I was far from home
