It’s Vietnam-era but I’m feeling this one these days.

#CandlesInTheRainSo raise the candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do, we could stay dry against the rain
Lay down, lay down, let it all down
Let your white birds smile up at the
Ones who stand and frown -
The current mood. This tune kicks ass; from another time hope was very much needed.
