As a candle it will and does burn longer
It's worth becomes way less all of the time~
And as we to go through our daily lives
Our candle of life burns so ever fine~
As our time on earth it slips slowly away
The value of life to many becomes cheaper~
Many burning life up as if a candle
And the way back it becomes ever so steeper~
The value of life was once worth far more
Today many care not about values fine and free~
So many they feel they'll simply live forever more
Not thinking at all of their or earths final destiny~
These days it's all computers it seems
Nobody works that hard any more much at all~
Running through life as does the winds that blow
Feeling they'll ever have to climb life's final wall~
Once there was so little needed to be happy
Now,more and more we seem to need to even live~
When not all that long ago we really had it all
And we then still had so very much to freely give~
But along came those with an eye on only gain
And over time almost robbed this planet dry~
And some among our most respected wealthy
It seems not hardly a tear they'll ever cry~
Very few will ever realize what they've done
They'll never miss what it is they've never known~
But with just a little more human and earthly consideration
Instead of burning it up our candle it could have grown~
We all arrive with nothing when first born on earth
And at end of day we leave ever so much the same-
Every single soul and life upon earth a gift from God
So much still needless woe , struggle and pain-
