Four weeks have passed four flames aglow
Now the last one burns steady and slow
The waiting ends the silence grows deep
A sacred promise the world will keep
The frantic rush has all come to rest
Leaving a hollow empty chest
But in the quiet a different sound
A seed of hope in the frozen ground
Oh the last candle of Advent a solitary light
Pushing back the longest coldest night
It's not a blaze but a gentle stubborn fight
A whisper that everything will be alright
It's the light inside that winter's frost can't claim
The quiet steady pulse behind my name
A simple fragile beautiful breathing flame
The memories made both bitter and sweet
Are laid to rest at the newborn's feet
Like fallen snow they blanket the past
A peace that is meant at last to last
I breathe it in this crystalline air
This moment of truth beyond compare
No more looking back no more might-have-been
Just the light of now and the world within
Oh the last candle of Advent a solitary light
Pushing back the longest coldest night
It's not a blaze but a gentle stubborn fight
A whisper that everything will be alright
It's the light inside that winter's frost can't claim
The quiet steady pulse behind my name
A simple fragile beautiful breathing flame
And from this light a new year will be born
Not with a shout but on a winter's morn
With the softest grace a page unturned
A lesson patiently and deeply learned
That after darkness there is always dawn
And from the bleakest winter life goes on
The last candle
Burning low
But never out
A silent vow
A world made new
I'm made new too
Just the flame and me
And the promise of what will be
