1:07:00
Breaks ranks, lays down his rifle
1:07:06
To kneel by her side
1:07:19
He gives her water
1:07:22
Binds her wounds
1:07:25
And calms the crying child
1:07:30
Her touch gives absolution then
1:07:35
Across the great divide
1:07:40
He picks his way back through
the broken
1:07:45
China of her life
1:07:50
And there at the kerb
the Samaritan Serb
1:07:56
Turns and waves
1:08:00
Good-bye
1:08:11
-And each small candle
- Each small candle
1:08:16
- Lights a corner of the dark
- Lights a corner of the dark
1:08:21
- Each small candle
- Each small candle
1:08:26
- Lights a corner of the dark
- Lights a corner of the dark
1:08:31
Each small candle
lights a corner of the dark
1:08:37
- When the wheel of pain stops turning
-And the branding irons stop burning
1:08:42
- When the children can be children
- When the desperadoes weaken
1:08:47
- When the tide rolls in to greet them
-And the natural law of science
1:08:52
- Greets the humble and the mighty
-And a billion candles burning
1:08:57
Lights the dark side
of every human mind
