30/08: Prom By Candlelight

By the light of a singular candle
At a time when the world is at war
Power is rationed so a car battery runs the decks that make music
And a boy and a girl, dressed to the nines are enjoying their junior prom

At a time when the world is at war
Young men don battle gear and plan their attack
And a boy and a girl, dressed to the nines enjoy their junior prom
As leaders of the world are in caffeinated conference

Young men don battle gear and plan their attack
The trouble in The Gulf makes the whole world fearful
As leaders of the world are in caffeinated conference
This dark tension will be remembered for years

The trouble in The Gulf makes the whole world fearful
He moves decisively, cupping her face in his hands
This dark tension will be remembered for years
And in this tiny moment, there is softness and warmth

He moves decisively, cupping her face in his hands
Power is rationed so a car battery runs the decks that make music
And in this tiny moment, there is softness and warmth
By the light of a singular candle
