Well I’ve heard the people talking in the fields and in the store
E C#m A B7
They say a man is claiming visions and they don’t want him ‘round here no more
A B7 E A
And with questions in my heart I walked home late last night
E B7 E
And in front of his old farmhouse something caught my eye
A B7 E A B7 C#m
I saw a candle burning brightly up in his window late last night
A B7 E A F#m B7
and in my heart it gripped tightly and something said son what He’s doing is right
A B7 E
I saw a candle burning bright
E A B7 E A B7
Well a vigil got together and they kicked in his front door
E C#m A B7
And as they drug him onto the back porch I wondered what all this was for
A B7 E A
And I watched him wrench in pain as the tar burned in his flesh
E B7 E
While a preacher held a candle dripping wax upon his chest
A B7 E A B7 C#m
I saw a candle burning brightly deep in his eyes late last night
A B7 E A F#m B7
and in my heart it gripped tightly and something said son what He’s doing is right
A B7 E
I saw a candle burning bright
E A B7 E A B7
Well this morning I was walking leaves blowing down that old dirt road
E C#m A B7
And those feelings just kept stirring deep within my soul
A B7 E A
And in my lips a silent whisper: Lord please tell me what is right
E B7 E
And then the spirit danced within me like a soft candle light
A B7 E A B7 C#m
I saw a candle burning brightly up in his window late that night
A B7 E A F#m B7
and in my heart it gripped tightly and something said son what He’s doing is right
A B7 C#m A B7 E
I saw a candle burning bright… I saw the light
