torch

You show me the way, even in the darkest place,
You light up my path, so I can see where you take me,
You are a wondrous thing that is often taken for granted, taken for granted
You are a wondrous thing that is taken for granted, but really, much more

You have an on and off switch, when off, not much help,
But when you are on you have endless possibilities,
A flick of a switch could weaken the darkness, weaken the darkness,
A flick of a switch will weaken the darkness, and find a soul’s way home,

You have a life, but like all lives, they must come to an end,
So as you flicker, then die, I bang you, to see if you’re still working,
Not much help, I know, but with these new batteries, you may be reborn, reborn
But with these new batteries, you are reborn, and blessed with a new life,

Your light shines bright, brighter than the heavens,
And its absence is darker than all nightmares,
But you show the way in more than a path, a path,
You show the way of life, a torch
