There’s a candle in the window
See, over there!
It’s lit every night, no exception
The neighbours think she’s odd
I’m here to tell you their wrong
The candle serves as a beacon
For the lost to find their way
through the cover of night
Yep, they come from all over
She never turns anyone away
Some stay a night, some stay weeks,
some never leave
Her door is open to all, you see
Yum! Hot stew tonight
The smell is intoxicating isn’t it?
I hear she makes the best coffee around
Clean sheets, warm blankets, soft pillow
Why, I just might go myself, hehe!
Watch the candle
It’s so bright tonight
What?
Oh no, there’s no shame, she offers no judgement
Just a warm welcome to troubled souls
Ya just have to reach out
See , just over there,
Where there’s a candle in the window
