Lyrics
When a single candle burns
Though it grew out from just a spark
Not only does it scorch the virgin wick
But it splits the dark
With a single clanging gong
You could drive thickest silence away
One solid crash would be enough to jolt
A sleepy public awake
When you feel you?re just one soul
And there?s nothin? you can do
Take a stand that?s all your own
Something big could start with you
When a single baby cries
A tired mother soon learns
If she doesn?t attend that wailin? baby?s needs
The child becomes a curse
When a single shout rings out
A mob can spring alive
And the ones who try to hold the torrent back
Are lucky to survive
