Light One Little Candle

by Paul Hall, the fourth of June, 1987, Caracas, Venezuela.

Darkness builds all cities

it's the darkness in daylight,

where people live and they cannot leave

though they try with all their might.

If they get an education, 

still it will not teach them how

to light one little candle

past the creases of their brow.

Will you light one little candle?

Be unpopular today.

Who knows if you might just find out

and maybe get away?

Come on, light one little candle.

You have nothing left to loose,

with the starlight for your clothing

and the planet for your shoes.

No.  No one else can tell you

since they haven't got a crown.

I'm a singer from the city streets

and I've been mocked as a clown.

I have bummed my way around the world

and I can tell you how

to light one little candle

past the creases of your brow.

Will you light one little candle?

Be unpopular today.

Who knows if you might just find out

and maybe get away?

Come on, light one little candle.

You have nothing left to loose,

with the starlight for your clothing

and the planet for your shoes.
