Receiving End Of Sirens (The)
(album: The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi)

This little light of mine
I was told to let it shine
But I stood idly by
And watched that poor flame die

I kept it from the bushel and brush
And away from the grasp of men
I left that lantern in the light
Where my flame could blend right in

I will bear this cross
I will wear these thorns

But I know
All this dark won´t swallow
All the light I hide
But still host

Her I´ll learn to hold
She will grow and grow
She will shine so bright

"Don´t let Satan blow it out."
The teachers always said
But soon enough he figured out
It wasn´t worth his breathe

´Cuz this little light of mine
Is losing all its´ bright
Not to the dark I hold inside

But to the dark kept from its sight
Below the smoke still burns a fire
A small spark lives ´nearth all these ashes
Promise me you´ll blow until I glow red,
bright fiery red

I´ve learned to smolder
All smoke but no flame
Ashes ashes we all fall down

(I long to glow like you
embers, bright halogen embers)

I will bear this cross
I will wear these thorns

But I know
All this dark won´t swallow
All the light I hide
But still host

Her I´ll learn to hold
She will grow and grow
She will shine so bright

Ashes to ashes we all fall down

This little light of mine
I was told to let it shine
But I stood idly by...
