Like A Candle In The Window I would never ask anything from you that simply wasn't right And, I am not doubting that you know what is best You read from a percentage of what the after effects in life are Just I believe what may hurt some may not bother the rest... I don't have to stand before the unknown to know there's a way of life I've yet seen I have never had to be in another's shoes to understand their pain Life is like a grid with it continuance of going up, down and side to side But, I can walk directly behind another and feel it the same... Like a candle in the window on Christmas Eve you see such light through the dark An opinion of beauty forms quickly there in the night Sacred stands still for a second in the middle of a pleasant sigh But, you don't know what's really behind that glass unless you're inside... I know there's reasons to why my nights are not calm And, you breathe the facts as to why they still seem real Though I have never actually have ever held the moon Doesn't mean I can't imagine how it could feel... I know I'm supposed to wear the miles in my life to find my peace Yet, be able to look beside me and see your shadow to make it home There's not a wind that blows that doesn't carry my thankfulness for the trust I have in you But, then there's that what is supposed to be wrong that won't leave me alone... Like a candle in the window on Christmas Eve is an image of what silent night means But, maybe that candle sees the world on a new level looking out Still sacred may burn in the flames as you witness from out there Just don't hold it against me for wondering what you're all about... I'm on the inside here being viewed as still as the night I'm not afraid for you are always looking in at me I know I've been before many, as in real life, just placed there by another So, I understand if you look at me now the way they wanted you to see... I'll appear here like nothing is even behind this glass at all Like a candle in the window on Christmas Eve I'll remain what catches your eye So, just allow me to burn for the world to view and go on Just I will love you, like it's Christmas, every day of my life...

But, you don't know what's really behind that glass unless you're inside... I enjoyed your words very much, and that particular phrase especially. |
