Little sisters of the sunlight

Candles in the rain

Nourished the world on simple grains

Candles in the rain

Ignited the spirit within

Who never knew their kin

The essence lives once more

Candles in the rain

To be there is to recall

Lay it down again

Lay down

Lay down

Lay it down again

People can unite

Candles in the rain

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down

Let your white birds rise

At those who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down

Let your white birds rise

At those who stand and frown

We were so close, there was no space

We hurt within each other's pain

We all shared the same ailment

And we all sang the songs of peace

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down

Let your white birds rise

At those who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down

Let your white birds rise

At those who stand and frown

So lift the candles high

Because if you don't, we might remain dark against the night

Oh, lift them higher again

And if you do, we could stay dry against the rain

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down

Let your white birds rise

At those who stand and frown

Lay down, lay down

Lay it all down

Let your white birds rise

At those who stand and frown
