Go Light Your World... (Carry Your Candle)There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a Spirit who brings fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home
Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world
Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame
Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world
We are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times
Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world...
my wish is for the people of Israel and the Palestinians, Iranians, and the Hamas to carry their candles and light their world...ending the war and suffering of the people in the middle east, so that smile is not a very rare commodity, like my mother seemed to show, laughs, i dunno. it is free and she can't even give that. maybe bec. my dad is gone and she misses him but being alive and well is something to smile about as well you know and i know that i'm right :) okay gals, and even guys and gays...let's make it a point to be a mona lisa even only for only 15 times a day. it won't hurt and it won't even put a dent in our pockets and the reward is you will get your smile back for free as well :> plus you did put light or sunshine into one's world without much effort and pain on your part. not unless it is really painful for you to smile which we hope not. so what are we waiting for? let's do it...pls! :) this way we won't even care about the mona lisa for we are the mona lisa ourselves...(^_~)... now maybe that's why leonardo da vinci painted her in the first place. the reminder for us to smile not unless she is his smiling muse or mistress :? not good then if that is the case and i hope not :> oh well.
but i read it somewhere that Da Vinci's inspiration is his own mother, whose name is lisa :) now who knows really? except the artist himself and he is conveniently dead to tell us the truth, so there :) mona lisa...like that smiley moon. i love it :>
there should be a rule that talented people should live twice longer than those without talent for it makes sense really. but you know what? they die so young instead, Mozart, for one did. and i hope painters live long as well. maybe if they are convinced that they're breathing toxic fumes most of the time and they needed to wear protective mask while on the job. you'll know esp. if you have asthma, these fumes can and might trigger one episode after another, so there, lucky you if your body is immune to such turpentine, linseed oil fumes or what have you. we don't want to leave our muses and patrons so early and not on time. won't we? and that's a given.
and yes a few years ago, i tried to carry my candle and light the world...sad to say that i failed. and so since then i learned a lesson that it is only us ourselves that can light our very own world, first and foremost hopefully with the help from the light of other candles carried by our other fellow humans. i tried and did my part and i should be happy with that :) now thinking back, lights can be blinding sometimes, maybe the reason for my failure :? wow, the wick could have burnt a little softer and a little milder then my mistake. but that's the way life goes as well. you win some and you lose some, some loves you and some don't. so that's the way it is, in reality...sad to say...again.
