Candles for the Returning Souls

I set the altar by the window light

With marigolds and sugar skulls tonight

Your photograph is glowing soft and gold

And every flame a story told

Come home through the candlelight

We love experience, rest here tonight

We leave the door open, hearts open wide

In memory, you're still by our side

Come home, come home

To the place you've always known

I hear your laughter in the evening air

A tender breeze that says you're there

The incense curls like a prayer in bloom

Filling the quiet, filling the room

Come home for the candlelight

Beloved spirits, rest here tonight

We leave the door open, hearts open wide

In memory, you're still by our side

Come home, come home

To the place you've always known

No distance, lose where love remains

It crosses rivers, crosses rains

What we miss becomes a sacred thread

Tying the living to the dead

Come home through the candlelight

Beloved spirits, rest here tonight

We leave the door open, hearts open wide

In memory, you're still by our side

Come home

Come home to the place you've always known

Rest in the roses, rest in the glow

You are the light we carry home
