Lyrics The Flame - Michelle Malone

The Flame

There’s too much darkness in here to see
And i’m so tired of misery
Rolling thunder and driving rain
When every candle needs a flame
Dont give me that bad news, I can’t read it anymore
Ain’t nothing but the sad blues piling up outside my door
Trust is gone, but hope remains
When every candle needs a flame
When the ground drops out from beneath your shoes
Because your family, they didn’t stand by you
Feels like a gut punch — it took me to my knees
Even strangers came to comfort me
I’d rather take a long walk, if I’m gonna be alone
I can’t listen to your hate talk
Won’t you come down off your throne
Cause im no stranger — we share a name
And every candle needs a flame (INST BRIDGE)
The line is drawn now between you and me
Bitter fruit grows on the tree
You took my picture out of the frame
Every candle needs a flame
Oh Oh Oh Oh — please light my flame
