"My new song 'Hurricane Candle' is out in the world today. It's a song about my Dad. He passed away in August of 24 after living a beautiful life. I came across the phrase Hurricane Candle many years ago. I felt my Dad symbolized this kind of lantern that has a glass shell or hurricane that protects from winds at sea or from a blustery day at home. To me, my Father was both the flame and the protector of the flame. He was an inspiration to so many who knew him. His two favorite things were reading and sailing. The picture is of my Dad sailing in 1960 with my Mom in the Swedish archipelago. To my siblings and my Mother, he was our north star. He was a business leader, a US Ambassador as well as a kind and generous man. He made the world a better place. I hope you enjoy it as much as we had writing and recording it. Thank you to the folks at DubShot Records for releasing Hurricane Candle. The lyrics of Hurricane Candle were written by me and Brian Clifford. The song was produced and engineered by Mikey Bar-Lavi. Mixed by Craig Alvin. Mastered by Black Lab Mastering. Special thanks to Katie Heimbold and Jason Spiewak" – Pete Francis

Lyrics:

[Intro]
The dream feels caught in negotiation,
With policies promised for liberation,
And suits on the news with a new explanation,
While war machines drum in constant rotation,
As the Reserve prints dollars to patch the nation,
And the most profitable businesses sellin’ sedation,
To beautiful souls confused and frustrated. 

See, we’re all tightrope walkin’ the line
Between gratitude for what we have,
And makin’ the whole world shine.  

[Verse]
‘Cause each nation is stockin’ its arsenal shelves,
With weapons designed to defend from ourselves.
We’re in an arms race out of fear of bein’ exploited—
The only solution is trust and healing a past avoided. 

[Chorus]
The air is our breath, the earth our flesh—
The water is our veins, fire breakin’ all chains.
We’ve been divided, but we still return—
Love is the uprising, let the whole world learn.

[Verse]
The planet spins in circles—no lines on the ground.
We drew flags and borders… then fenced it all down.
The maps we made don’t match what’s true—
But we guard the lines like they guard you.

[Pre-Chorus]
It started with thrones and the hunger for land—
From swords in the ground to signatures in hand.
They divvied up the property, resources, and power—
But there’s more than enough for each of us to flower.

[Chorus]
The air is our breath, the earth our flesh—
The water is our veins, fire breakin’ all chains.
We’ve been divided, but we still return—
Love is the uprising, let the whole world yearn.

[Verse]
Some boys grow up where the past still bleeds—
Learnin’ to fight just to fill basic needs.
Buildin’ empires to prove they’re strong—
Still carryin’ wars that went on too long.

[Verse]
But pain’s not a reason to make others suffer—
It teaches revenge…and only makes things tougher.
So, we hold the line—but not with hate…
An open hand can still hold weight.

[Bridge]
We’re all just lookin’ out for those we hold dear—
Most evil is driven by trauma and fear.
It’s time to widen our family line—
To unite humanity while we still have time.

[Chorus]
The air is our breath, the earth our flesh—
The water is our veins, fire breakin’ all chains.
We’ve been divided, but we still return—
Love is the uprising, it’s the soul’s return.

[Verse]
From thrones to bombs, from fences to walls—
Division has echoed through our rises and falls.
This time is different—we’re answerin’ the call… 
We’re joinin’ together—come rise or come fall. 

[Outro]
The air is our breath, the earth our flesh—
The water is our veins, fire breakin’ all chains.
A history of violence, but we move toward peace.
Love is the uprising, trauma’s release…
Yeah…love is the uprising, may we all be free.
