Maybe I'm just a fool
I should keep to the ground,
I should stay where I'm at
Maybe everyone has hunger like this and the hunger will pass
But I can't think like that
: Flight - Craig Carnelia
แปะเพลงจากละครเรื่อง The Civil War ของ Frank Wildhorn ค่ะ
A Candle in the Window โดย Linda Eder ละครเรื่องนี้ชื่อก็บอกว่าเกี่ยวกับสงครามกลางเมืองของอเมริกา เพลงนี้เป็นเพลงที่ตัวละครตัวนึงร้องเกี่ยวกับประธานาธิบดี อับราฮัม ลินคอล์น รู้สึกเพราะดี ให้ความรู้สึกถึงทั้งความเป็นผู้นำและความเป็นคนไปพร้อมกัน
Hurry through the night Past the shuttered houses Towards a solitary light Burning in the window Near a figure in a chair Always sitting there Quiet as a prayer
Does he close his eyes? Weary with the weight of being Suddenly so wise Tired of the demons He must sit up there and fight Deep into the night Praying that he's right?
Every evening I can see his shadow on the shade And I don't feel so alone or so afraid
There's a candle in the window every night Reflecting all our hopes and dreams Or so it seems to me as I look up to see That candle in the window every night Burning like the yearning to be free Far away and dim Kept alive by him
Seven blocks away Before I go to bed I fall down On my knees and pray That he will keep his candle burning Just a moment more Till he finds a way This is what I pray
And I wonder does he see me passing by each night As I look up to find his patch of light?
There's a candle in the window every night Reflecting all our hopes and dreams Or so it seems to me as I look up to see That candle in the window shining bright Burning like the yearning to be free Far away and dim Kept alive by him
