Who's been told he can work
Am7                      D
There's a boy who's been told there's no future

The past ain't no friend of mine

Am7                      D
There's a failure who is standing on the corner
Am7               D
For he cannot see hope
Am7                        D
There's a blind man who is standing at the crossroads
Am7               F
For he cannot see light
G                     F
And as we fire the candles
G                      F
We must make sure they burn through the night
G                  D
For if they should die
G           D
There be no light
