Faithful reasons still unknown

Their freedom light don?t shine at all

Cmaj7     D      Cmaj7       D

So I will light a candle for you

Cmaj7        D             Cmaj7

And keep it burning in the night

    D

And pray that you?re all right

I will light a candle for you

Cmaj7    D              Cmaj7    D

A little candle burning bright

Verse 2:

When schoolyard heroes disappear

The little girl she stands alone

Oh I believe you if you say

A prayer can help to get her home (yeah)
