Elton John - Mexican Vacation (Kids In The Candlelight)

I carried you in my arms
 Through the hotel to our room
 The night was filled with music
 Those old historic tunes
 Songs of revolution
 Filled our hearts and fed our souls
 As the fireworks exploded
 Like those cannons long ago

 See the kids in the candlelight
 Spirits on the mend
 Every golden child tonight
 Just changes on the wind
 See the kids in the candlelight
 See 'em shining bright
 Innocence beyond the fight
 See the kids in the candlelight

 Five hundred wooden saints below
 The color's cracked and dry
 You said their stories should be told
 Did they suffer when they died?
 Give us your tradition
 Give us hope and send us home
 We'll be the cracked bells tolling
 The voice of dust and bones

 See the kids in the candlelight
 Spirits on the mend
 Every golden child tonight
 Just changes on the wind
 See the kids in the candlelight
 See 'em shining bright
 Innocence beyond the fight
 See the kids in the candlelight

 The pillow that you dream on
 Lies rolled up on the floor
 You tossed it at the TV screen
 At the drug lord and his war
 Thinking of the courtyard
 Forced a tear from your eye
 The white shirts in the moonlight
 The warm forgiving smiles

 See the kids in the candlelight
 Spirits on the mend
 Every golden child tonight
 Just changes on the wind
 See the kids in the candlelight
 See 'em shining bright
 Innocence beyond the fight
 See the kids in the candlelight

 Yea, yea, yea [x2]
