Yves
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Early one day
Yves had something to say
Marched right at the head
Someone shot him dead
So all of his friends
They lit a candle for him
And all through the night
So much candlelight
I know how you think you're afraid
Don't you know that it's still not too late?
You can go now
Yves has shown you how
And there's nothing that you need to know
Just get up and go
Go now and be blessed
Yves has done the rest
