Mexican Vacation (Kids In The Candlelight) (Live From Capitol Studios) - Elton John

Lyrics by：Elton John/Bernie Taupin

Composed by：Elton John/Bernie Taupin

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

Feels changes on the wind

See the kids in the candlelight

See 'em shining bright

Innocence beyond the light

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

See changes on the wind

Be the kids in the candlelight

Spirits on 'em 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 ** lord and his war

Thinking of the courtyard

'Til a tear oh 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

Feels changes on the wind

See the kids in the candlelight

See 'em shining bright

Innocence beyond the light

See the kids in the candlelight

Yea yea yea

Yea yea yea
