I like to put Chris Rea's Candle which is a favorite song of mine here as a birhday present for you, the first lines talk about
one of your and mine concerns and one of the biggest problems of all times, and you can think of the candle as your birth day candle , maybe this symbolic custom is telling us that we should shine bight, and shine , shine , shine , and as Chris Rea says in his song "shine, shine, shine", "as the days flies over,[ ] feel younger every day".

Faith for reasons still unknown
Like 'Bleak House fog' seems everywhere
The truth has frozen into stone
And hope lies freezing in the midnight air
Though dark our days may seem
This is a different dream
Their freedom light don't shine at all
So I will light a candle for you
Keep it burning in the night
And pray that you are all right
I will light a candle for you
Little candle burning bright

When school yard heroes disappeared
The little girl, she stands alone
Oh I believe you if you say
A prayer can help to get her home

So I will light a candle for you
Keep it burning in the night
And pray that you are all right
I will light a candle for you
Little candle burning bright
