Light Up the Candles Lyrics by Bill Ward

Ward One: Along the Way

1990

Light up the candles
Let there be peace tonight
Throw out the pain that made you cry
Up to the rafters
Watch the candlelight glow
Follow your heart, see where it goes
Don't forget your prayers
Before your bedtime
No more talking, too
No more wars or hurt
Before your bedtime
Place your head upon whatever
You've been chosen to call bed
And while you're sleeping
Bye, bye, di li li li
And while you're sleeping
Light up the candles
Leave the rest of the day
Follow your dreams and float away
[Repeat Chorus]
Conscience tells
The present story
In a room below
I know I ask for much tonight
Too much to ask for peace tonight
I know I ask for much tonight
Too much to as for peace tonight
