Lyrics

There once was a boy who liked work outdoors
Skin fair as parchment that spilled on the floors
Out of his head grew a rope of some sort
And everyone thought him unusual of course

Oh someday his day would come
But someday was far too far.. away for a dream
To find him awake
To finally be someone or something as great

Oh Candle Boy, Candle Boy heart made of wax
Humble beginnings for destiny grand
Oh Candle Boy Candle Boy beacon of light
Soon you will shine like the stars on the darkest of nights

One day the children did not make it home
We called out their names to no answer
Darkness had come like the bite of a wolf
And drag the poor souls to the depths of the woods

Candle boy only boy brave volunteer
Foolish enough to ignore all his fears

So why did their mothers smirk
And why were we holding back... the tears from our eyes
We cried the wrong kind
What was so funny were we just as blind

Oh Candle Boy Candle Boy Heart made of Steel!
Show us the meaning of courage and zeal
Oh Candle Boy Candle boy beacon of light
Soon you will shine like the stars on the darkest of nights

Under forest canopy thick
Where the sun light peaks through the leaves and...
Casted shadows thin dimly lit
Looming taller on the wrong side of time

It's run out
There the children lie.....
Sleeping Peacefully...

Hey do you know where you are?
Wake up it's late and you've wondered too far
Steady let's walk hand in hand
Candle boy said as he thought of a plan

Night falling down on their heads
Echoes of noises from things best unsaid
New moon rising in the sky
They tried to savor the last of their sight

Pitch Black the warmth of a breath..
Winding it's way up the backs of their necks
Circle they've been there before
Too dark to run and too cold to ignore

Oh is this the end of candle boy's tale
His dream were so big was he fated to fail
or was it the story of the ballads we sing
Of unlikely heroes who give everything

Oh Candle Boy Candle Boy heart made of flames
Light up your wick would you show us the way
Oh Candle Boy Candle Boy Champion at last
Melting away for the ones you must protect

"Candle boy light your wick Candle boy lead the way"

Candle boy Candle boy

Light the Candle Boy Candle boy
Humble beginnings of destiny grand
Candle boy Candle boy beacon of light
Brilliantly shining like stars in the sky

Oh Candle Boy candle boy heart made of steel
Show us the meaning of courage and zeal
Candle boy Candle boy beacon of light
Brilliantly shining like stars on the darkest of nights

Candle boy Candle boy heart made of ash
Now all that's left is a puddle of wax
Candle boy Candle boy you saved the day
You'll live forever in our memories...
