Life's a black sea where time slips away
Moments lost in the currents drifting day by day
But now and then a spark in the night
A candle flickers casting a gentle light
Floating on the black sea of time
Little candles burning bright
Hoping when I turn around
The darkness will be filled with light
Days turn to shadows memories fade
In the depths of the ocean dreams start to wade
But every so often a memory stays
A beacon in the darkness guiding my way
Floating on the black sea of time
Little candles burning bright
Hoping when I turn around
The darkness will be filled with light
At the end of it all when my journey's done
Will I see a sky of stars or just a setting sun?
My greatest fear to turn and see
A sea of darkness staring back at me
Floating on the black sea of time
Little candles burning bright
Hoping when I turn around
The darkness will be filled with light
