The candle is burning, burning
The candle is burning
The candle is burning, burning
The candle is burning
Out of darkness the spark of light, travels
As the drum, it pulls you in, travels
And once it begins nothing's left behind
From this moment in space, our place, our time
Travels
Travels
With illusion surrounding you, a vision will come, a vision will come
When the darkness surrounds you, a vision will come, a vision will come
And at that moment you realize
Every beginning has its ending line
And we're only aware of
A brief and sudden moment in this place, place
Youth go wake up the elder
They will come and remind us of the answers
You alone them say, shining!
For out of this small light you must make it greater!
Greater! The pot will overflow
Wake up! Wake up!
Ye slumbering souls
Like in testimonial times of old
Calling the lion, yea!
Calling the lion
Keep the candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Oh! Spirit driver come for me
Spark to flame it is a legacy
Out of the darkest of dark Jah still provide
Beginning with a lightning strike!
Beyond the great oak tree
A lonely candle burns!
Oh Jah!
Keep the candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, pass it around
Candle burning, burning
