Before I light this candle and follow it all night
I should think what it means to hold this fragile light
Should I walk a lap or maybe two and memorize the names
Of all the loved ones whose lives won’t ever be the same
Before I light this candle and protect it from the wind
Should I read the stories of what was and what has been
Before I light this candle and read the sad goodbyes
Should I promise that I will always cry
Before I light this candle and follow it all night
I have to promise you that I will always fight
