CANDLES VIGILS IN THE NIGHT

Candles vigils at DR Seenivasagam Park Ipoh

Candles vigils in the night
Common folks come near and far
On the open space for the common goal
Let ISA goes to sleep

Singing songs to ease the pain
Of those who never get to trial
What is law when it is unfairly treated?
On the people who lived through it

Candles vigils in the night
Freedom fighters blaze the trails
Common folks come together
Sharing a common night vigil

And the police snarling voices
Ringing far into the night
Common folks pay no heed
Time to sing songs of peace

And the government jumping mad
Elected by the people the leaders forget
Taking laws into their hands
They want to punish those who go against

Candles vigils in the night
Common faces someone in jail
Open spaces for the common goal
Let ISA goes to sleep
