carolyn hester - ten thousand candles lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
before it is evening
ten thousand souls are lost
they are gone from want of eating
and in bounty here we stood

[verse 2]
ten thousand are the dollars
ten thousand, yes, and more
it takes to keep our granaries
with locks upon the door

[chorus]
ten thousand candles
ten thousand lives
ten thousand gone by evening
ten thousand nights

[verse 3]
some men will die a+plenty
then we will lose two men
one man is betraying
the man who might have been

[verse 4]
this song is to remember
today the bread is wrought
ten thousand gone by evening
ten thousand we forgot
[chorus]
ten thousand candles
ten thousand lives
ten thousand gone by evening
ten thousand nights

[verse 5]
they talk of war on poverty
then make the basket swell
for lives are passing by
with each tolling of the bell
