Matthew Jacob Parker - Candles in My Hand Lyrics

I don't know why I spent so much time
Thinkin' everybody else was so far ahead
We're all slaves to the clock, to the time set for us
Can't escape these moments in our hands

What happened to my childhood?
What happened to my friends
Who never said they'd leave me
When things got tough again?

I go far, far, far
And I don't stop
And that's a problem, they say

I go far, far, far
And I dont stop
'Cause I'm here to light the way

With my candles in my hand
These are stars I can't forget
I got candles in my hand
I've been runnin' from it all my life
With my candles in my hand
Now I'm strong enough to realize
I got candles in my hand

Take me back
To the life I had
'Cause I don't remember it anymore
(Don't remember it)

But I don't even want it anyway
I wouldn't trade this life for the world
(Trade this life for it)

Since I was four I had a vision
Fourteen it changed
And then again at 19
I'm here to stay

With my candles in my hand
These are stars I can't forget
I got candles in my hand
I've been runnin' from it all my life
With my candles in my hand
Now I'm strong enough to realize
I got candles in my hand

I'm grown, I'm the man
Found a plan, so I ran
Yeah, I ran with it
I ran with it
I'm grown, I'm the man
Found a plan, so I ran
Yeah, I ran with it
I ran with it
I'm grown, I'm the man
Found a plan, so I ran
Yeah, I ran with it
I ran with it
I'm grown, I'm the man
Found a plan, so I ran
Yeah, I ran with it
I ran

With my candles in my hand
These are stars I can't forget
I got candles in my hand
I've been runnin' from it all my life
With my candles in my hand
Now I'm strong enough to realize
I got candles in my hand
