You've been standing on the edges Hesitant to get involved Oh, you're good at riding fences But your problems go unsolved Your light's under a bushel It's been hidden on a hill Oh, you tell me that you love Him But you failed to do His will You gotta light your candle Light your candle Light your candle On the front porch of hell You've been living on a border Just barely getting by Your prayers they sound like orders There's no weeping when you cry Sometimes you can be cold Other times you come on hot Oh, you've been playing games for so long First you're unfaithful then you're not You gotta light your candle Light your candle Light your candle On the front porch of hell You gotta light your candle Let it burn bright in the face of the devil Light your candle On the front porch of hell Oh, you look so safe and warm In your life of in-betweens You don't want to touch nobody Who will rip you at your seams I know it's hard to live for Him In a dry and weary land But if you want to share in Heaven On this Earth you've got to make a stand You gotta light your candle Light your candle Light your candle On the front porch of hell You gotta light your candle Let it burn bright in the face of the devil Light your candle On the front porch Light your candle Light your candle Light your candle On the front porch of hell You gotta light your candle Let it burn bright in the face of the devil Light your candle On the front porch of hell You gotta light your candle You gotta light your candle
