    Not the torturer will scare me
    Nor the body's final fall
  • Nor the barrels of death's rifles
    Nor the shadows on the wall
    Nor the night when to the ground
  • The last dim star of pain is hurled
    But the blind indifference
    Of a merciless unfeeling world.

  • A soldier form the other side, a man of heart and pride
    Breaks rank, lays down his rifle, to kneel by her side

    He gives her water, binds her wounds and calms the cryingchild

  • Her touch gives absolution then, across the great divide
    Fig #02 G Bb Cm
    He picks his way back through the broken china of her life

    And there at the curb the samaritan Serb turns and waves
    goodbye

  • And each small candle - lights a corner of the dark
    Each small candle - lights a corner of the dark
    G F5 D5 Eb5 D5 Eb5 D5
  • Each small candle lights a corner of the dark, and
    Cm
    When the wheels of pain stop turning,
  • And the branding irons stop burning, when the
    Children can be children,
    When the desperados weaken,
  • And the tide rolls in to greet them,
    And the natural law of science,
    Brings the humble and the mighty,
  • And the brilliant candles burning,
    * G F Eb D Eb * Cm
    Light the dark side of every human mind...
