Veladoras on the Windowsill

Candles on the windowsill glowing in the blue

Little lights for weary hearts finding their way through

We set the table softly with easing prayer

Calling every gentle soul to know they're welcome there

Come on home, come on home

By the lantern's pace and flame

We remember, we remember

And we speak your cherished name

Grandmother's old photographic

Father's quiet song

Stories in the sugar bowl

Where all the hands belong

Marimba in the hallway

Like footsteps in the rain

Every laugh we save for you

Returns to us again

Come on home, come on home

By the lantern's patient flame

We remember, we remember

And we speak your cherished name

Bend the night with mercy

Let the doorway stand

Spirit by spirit

Walking back to land

We are the living circle

We are the open door

Grateful for the love we keep

And those who came before

Come on home

Come on home

Through the dusk and through the glow

We remember, we remember

And let the whole house know

Come on home

Come on home

Rest beside us near and warm

In the candles on the windowsill

You are safe within the storm
