Lyrics
Well I've heard the people talking
In the fields and in the stores
They say a man is claiming visions
And they don't want him 'round here no more
And with questions in my heart
I walked home late last night
And in front of his old farm house
Something caught my eye
I saw a candle burning brightly
Up in his window late last night
And in my heart it gripped me tightly
And something said son what he's doing's right
I saw a candle burning bright
Well a vigil got together
And they kicked in his front door
As they drug him on to the back porch
I wondered what all this was for
And I watched him wrench in pain
As the tar burned in his flesh
While a preacher held a candle
Dripping wax upon his chest
I saw a candle burning brightly
Up in his window late last night
And in my heart it gripped me tightly
And something said son what he's doing's right
I saw a candle burning bright
Well this morning I was walking
Leaves blowing down that old dirt road
And those feelings just kept stirring deep within my soul
On my lips a silent whisper
Lord please tell me what is right
And then the Spirit danced within me
Like the soft candle light
And I saw a candle burning brightly
Up in his window late last night
And in my heart it gripped me tightly
And something said son what he's doing's right
I saw a candle burning bright
And I saw the light
