Marigold Midnight Procession

Candles wake the stones at dusk

Marigolds bloom in every trust

Names we whisper soft and low

Guide us where the warm winds go

We remember in the color

In the music, in the glow

Through the glowing streets together

Love keeps dancing as we go

Oh, we carry you with us

In the lantern's golden flame

Grief becomes a shared parade

And the night sings back your name

Footsteps tap on painted ground

A thousand hearts in one sweet sound

Rays of smoke and ribbon light

Lead our sorrow into bright

We remember in the color

In the music, in the glow

To the glowing streets together

Love keeps dancing as we go

Oh, we carry you with us

In the lantern's golden flame

Grief becomes a shirt parade

And the night sings back your name

Every photo, every prayer

Finds a home beside us there

Even loss can learn to bloom

When the time becomes a room

Full of voices, full of grace

Full of yesterday's embrace

We remember in the calm

In the music, in the glow

Through the glowing streets together

Love keeps dancing as we go

Hand in hand, we walk you onward

Through the firelight, through the rain

Grief becomes a shared parade

And we love you all the same
