As you walk through the day,

Is it being shone

From what you do and say.

How do you hold your candle

As you walk through the night,

Is your candle dark and cold?

Or does it give off a wonderful light.

How do you hold your candle

When you’re pushed into a wall,

Do you stand and light the world

Or do you begin to fall?

How do you hold your candle

When your world crumbles down

Is face bright and smiling

Or is it gloomy and clouded with a frown.

So How Do You Hold Your Candle?
