That Single Flame

Her house burnt down
Like her confidence
Washed out with the water
Were all her small prayers
God didn’t answer her
Now shes trying to get on track
Keeping herself steady
To float down the stream
Waiting to find her waterfall
To lead to bigger things

shes holding her necklace
But shes never felt so reckless
Watching it float down the stream
wondering if its her dream
Drifting away
Always out of reach
Costing her friends
Who dealt with the damage
Of all of her faults

Sh sits in the corner
Trying not to break down
Just wants to turn it round
But all these dreams
Are coming back
To throw her life out of wack
All she has is this necklace
To make her keep proving
Shes worth all this mess

shes holding her necklace
But shes never felt so reckless
Watching it float down the stream
wondering if its her dream
Drifting away
Always out of reach
Costing her friends
Who dealt with the damage
Of all of her faults

She's crying
Shes dying
All because of her lost dream
shes crying out
Its dying out
Please don’t let the single flame fade
All her hope
is in that single flame

shes holding her necklace
But shes never felt so reckless
Watching it float down the stream
wondering if its her dream
Drifting away
Always out of reach
Costing her friends
Who dealt with the damage
Of all of her faults
