We sit down by the candlelight
And just enjoy the silence.
We’ve suffered so much in our pasts,
But now there’s peace and guidance:
The candles light our path tonight
And lead us towards a new world,
Where with ourselves we reunite
And learn to simply let go.
The tender light flickers and calls
The names which we’d forgotten…
In unsung silence we’re reborn
And find the light to hold on.
No words escape our sealed lips,
For there’s no need to speak now.
We both know what we want to say
And cherish what we now have.
By candlelight we’ve found our peace,
Its warmth—so liberating.
By candlelight we’ve found our names,
No longer hesitating.
By warm and soothing candlelight
We’ve broken out of darkness.
By candlelight we sit in peace,
Rejoicing in the silence…
