Ghanaian musician Enam's soaring high notes cut through the track, summoning Africans in the diaspora to reconnect with their inner divinity. Her powerful lyrics, "Would you believe, if I ever told you, you are God, all the lies disregarded," challenge listeners to question their true identity and awaken to their inherent power.
Enam, renowned for her unique Afro-Spiritual sound, collaborates with Mista Silva, a UK-born Ghanaian artist and pioneer of Afro-beats in the UK, and Lyrical Joe, a celebrated Ghanaian rapper and songwriter.

The track also features Osofo Kojo Bentsir, founder and Chief Mekra Priest, whose influence spreads across Africa, Europe, and beyond. This collective effort underscores the shared commitment to the song's powerful message.
Candle Light addresses the deep spiritual and cultural misguidance caused by colonialism and Western indoctrination, which has disconnected Africans both on the continent and in the diaspora from their rich traditions and ancestry. The song calls for a return to these teachings, reminding listeners that understanding themselves as gods and creators of their own destinies is essential to the awakening of African nations.
The track highlights Africa's once-thriving connection to culture, spirituality, and tradition—foundations that shaped global civilization. It critiques how these practices were demonised during the transatlantic slave trade and the imposition of western religion, but points out that the West is now beginning to study the same African spiritual practices they once dismissed.
Through its lyrics, Candle Light teaches that African ancestors were profoundly advanced, understanding the spiritual mysteries of the cosmos long before Western societies did. These ancestors harnessed the elements of water, fire, air, and earth to connect with their cosmic lineage and the creative forces that embody the essence of true life.
The song urges listeners to reconnect with these cosmic truths and recognise death not as an end but as a transition to higher spiritual realms.
With its spiritually charged chorus and messages of empowerment, Candle Light calls Africans everywhere to cast aside the falsehoods imposed by history and re-embrace the divine essence within themselves. This track is not just a song but an anthem for spiritual and cultural revival.
