Good morning child
Born burning free and brilliant
Your possibilities infinite in miles
And your life so distant

So fragile your flame
Blowing in the world’s torrent
Hating your light so tame
Burn it brilliant never relent

Our souls breaking,
I can’t light your fire
This pain consuming
I can’t light your fire
Blind from the blurring
I can’t light your fire

I saw you flicker for a moment
Gave in to the dark waves
Crashing against your halo
Somewhere between the metal and stone grave
That has taken your soul

I will remember you with the tears
That light these candles
Burning soft remembrance
Among the ashes of your memory

Our souls breaking,
Why can’t I light your fire
This pain consuming
Why can’t I light your fire
Blinding and blurred
Why can’t I light your fire

‘Cause I can’t take this all on me
It’s so dark surrounding me
I don’t know when to stand or where to sit
I’m pacing your memory into my soul
My tears can’t light your candle
Blown by the wind, smothered in earth so cold

Our souls breaking,
I can’t light your fire
This pain, consuming
I can’t light your fire
Blinding and blurred
Why can’t I light your fire
Why can’t I light your fire
Why can’t I light this fire
Oh God
Why cant my tears
Bring your brilliance back

In Loving Memory of Brian Prevo
