I wish I could light a candle

For all the lost souls of the world,

To let God see the light

That shines deep inside of them.

Let not their sorrow blow out their flame,

But let their embers glow again.



And I wish I could teach them to love themselves,

God,and the people who love them,

But care not about those who don't care enough

To reach out a helping hand;

But instead,shun them,

And push them farther into the deep,lonely graves

That they have already dug for themselves.



But,alas,I'm only human.

What more can I say?

I wish I could do something.

All I can do is pray.

But maybe if he's listening,

He'll take away their pain;

And give to all the lost souls

The chance to start again.
