Candlelight
He could not believe his eyes
Those rosary beads lying by his side
Was this a found farewell

You're helpless for the first time in your life
You bowed and prayed to God to make this right

'Cause your heart's in the middle and plain to see
If the same thing ever happens to me
I hope I have the same strength as you
And maybe I never took the time
To tell you what you said that night
Was all I needed to hear to pull me through

You said: "Oh my son, don't give up so easy
Oh my son, do this one thing to please me
Oh my son, all I ask you to survive"

Survive
No further from the candlelight
Keep those rosary beads by your side
The ones I gave to you

You're helpless for the first time in your life
You bowed and prayed to God to make this right

You said: "Oh my son, don't give up so easy
Oh my son, do this one thing to please me
Oh my son, all I ask you to survive"

You said: "Oh my son, don't give up so easy
Oh my son, do this one thing to please me
Oh my son, all I ask you to survive"

Draw closer, draw closer
It's not over, it's not over

Oh my son
Oh my son
Oh my son, all I ask you to survive
Oh my son
Oh my son
Oh my son, all I ask you to survive
To survive
