[Verse 1]
Candle for the gone ones, 'nother for the lost ones
Couldn't find their way out and bent until they were broken
A candle for the babies crying in the darkness
What do we tell them but hold on a little longer?
Candle for the poets who sing that rock of ages (Sing that rock of ages)
Believe it or not, babe, there's no way to make it plainer
A candle for the teachers that speak in simple phrasеs (Speak in simple phrases)
Good morning, childrеn, it's time to write the pages

[Chorus]
Grace
Be on us
Grace
Be on us

[Verse 2]
Ain't you glad to be down-hearted
Who can say I'm a black dog humming?
Show me how to feel it like the first time
Blow and blow, blow down the door
These old wings don't suit me no more
Show me how to feel it like the first time

[Chorus]
Grace
Be on us
Grace
Be on us
Grace
Be on us, oh, na-na-na
Grace
Be on us
Grace
Be on us, oh, na-na-na
Grace
Be on us
Grace
Be on us
