For Another Day
© 1988 Thomas Hemenway 

†The flame goes out,
on the candle,
it must stay alight,
for another day.

The rain has come,
to the mountains,
the clouds overtake,
till the end of time.

We must hold on now,
the light, for another day.

Wind blows, sea breeze,
spring snows, green trees,
love flows, quickly.

Your heart beats on,
onto the stars, it won’t be long,
we will return again.†

The flame goes out,
on the candle,
it must stay alight,
for another day.

The rain has come,
to the mountains,
the clouds overtake,
till the end of time.

We must hold on now,
the light, for another day.
