Strike a match
Light a candle
In the darkest place
The darkness is forced to flee
From the smallest single spark
The fire spreads, dancing for all to see
Like a mouse when it is frightened
The darkness runs and hides
As a thousand sparks are lit
A spark of hope that engulfs the old
Placing life and strength
In things once dead
