Backstory:

The three of us wrote this because we were beyond upset with
the recent shootings in Florida. So sad. Just something we wanted
to say.                                            

Lyrics:

                                                  
She will always be .. daddy’s princess and mamma’s godsend
went to school early that day, hanging out with her friends 
She had a dream - going to college, studied hard all the time  
Never thinking, in one single moment, she’d lose her precious life 
 
PRE-CH: 
cos a tortured soul bought himself a gun 
Now she’s gone forever and seventeen’s too young

CHORUS
We need a candle that lights up the darkness 
We can’t handle feeling this helpless
We gotta work together for the sake of everyone
For the innocent and the broken,
God only knows we’ve had enough- and one more is just too much
While we can .. let's light up this world
Burn bright, stay proud, stand tall and
Be the candle/ be the candle


V2. He planned to be a mechanic handy with his hands
Didn’t like academics but he played in the school band
Well, he hid them in the closet – never made a sound
Holdin tight to his friends- prayin they wouldn’t be found

PRE CH:
And as they walked outside standing in a line
He’s grateful for everything he has in his life

CH
We need a candle that lights up the darkness
We can’t handle feeling this helpless
We gotta work together for the sake of everyone
For the innocent and the broken,
God only knows we’ve had enough- one more is just too much
While we can .. let's light up this world
Burn bright, stay proud, stand tall and
Be the candle/ be the candle
