A Candle in the Dark by Ivan Guerrero Najera

A Candle in the Dark


The lights go out, and you reach out
To always find me there

I’ll bring the spark to start a fire
Just point and tell me where

The world is cold, and you’ve been told
You’re on your own, but that’s not fair

So now I’m here to make it clear
That you’ve no reason to despair

Carry my warmth each time you part
From our protected space

Remind yourself that we are one
And use our strength to face the case

Many are lost, but we have found
A candle in the dark

As life companions, we embark
To illuminate each other’s path
And complement our passing mark
