Little sisters of the sun   Lit candles in the rain   Fed the world on oats and raisins   Candles in the rain   Lit the fire to the soul who never knew it's friend   Meher Baba lives again   Candles in the rain   To be there was to remember   So lay it down again   Oh, lay it down   lay it down, lay it down again   Men can live as brothers   Candles in the rain      (copied exactly from the album liner notes)   chorus*   lay down lay down, let it all down   let your white birds smile up at the   ones who stand and frown   lay down lay down, let it all down   let your white birds smile up at the   ones who stand and frown*   we were so close, there was no room   we bled inside each others wounds   we all had caught the same disease   and we all sang the songs of peace   chorus   so raise the candles high cause if you   don't we could stay black against the night   oh raise them higher again and if you   do we could stay dry against the rain   chrous   we were so close there was no room   we bled inside each others wounds   we all had caught the same disease   and we all sang the songs of peace   some came to sing, some came to pray   some came to keep the dark away   so raise the candles high   cause if you don't we could stay   black against the sky   oh oh raise them higher again   and if you do we could stay dry against the rain   chorus
