The Flame © 2006 David Ross. All rights reserved. A firefly streaks through the darkness, and fills the world with light A candle in this dreary jungle illuminates the night A distant ray of sunshine leads us home and lights our way As dawn lights up the Southern sky it welcomes a new day Oh, can we learn this lesson from the flame So we can give of our hearts And let the blessings fall like rain Oh, can we learn this lesson from the flame And show our children the way To share a love that will always remain If only we can learn this from the flame We've shown that we can conquer any challenge in our way We've learned to take life step by step, to live it day by day We've learned this lesson well and we can see what's wrong and right If you can give and give forevermore, then you can bring the light We are the children and we are not afraid We'll show the whole world that we can guide the way We have a message for all of you tonight If you show us your love, then we'll bring you the light...of the flame
