The Flame - Michelle Malone

There’s too much darkness in here to see

And i’m so tired of misery

Rolling thunder and driving rain

When every candle needs a flame

Dont give me that bad news, I can’t read it anymore

Ain’t nothing but the sad blues piling up outside my door

Trust is gone, but hope remains

When every candle needs a flame

When the ground drops out from beneath your shoes

Because your family, they didn’t stand by you

Feels like a gut punch — it took me to my knees

Even strangers came to comfort me

I’d rather take a long walk, if I’m gonna be alone

I can’t listen to your hate talk

Won’t you come down off your throne

Cause im no stranger — we share a name

And every candle needs a flame (INST BRIDGE)

The line is drawn now between you and me

Bitter fruit grows on the tree

You took my picture out of the frame

Every candle needs a flame

Oh Oh Oh Oh — please light my flame
