I flew miles to be here
You flew miles to be there
I went to a city of freedom
You went to a country at war

Well, I was just a child
And you were just a boy
And I was here playing with my friends
And you were fighting an enemy you didn't know
Now

Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain

I was chasing the fireflies
And you were engaged in firefights
I was tending schoolwork
While you were tending wounds
I dreamed of far away places
and you dreamed of coming home
I shed a tear
And you shed your blood in fear
your blood in fear

Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain

I live in peace
Now you gave your life for it
I came here to honor your memory etched in stone
you lie beneath the stone in honor of your country
I shall never forget why I'm here
Because of you.. and you were there
Because you... and you were there

Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain

Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain
Candles in the rain
Fade
