Candle in The Wind

This is a songfic in which Balto has died. His family and friends remember his life and how he saved the town of Nome. (Note: This is the Diana version, with a few lyrics changed to suit the premise).

The whole town of Nome gathered in silence. Their great saviour, Balto, who risked his life to deliver medicine, had died. A funeral was held and among the many who attended, his wife Jenna, his adoptive snow goose father Boris and his mate Stella, Balto's children and Muk and Luk were there. "I miss my dad, Uncle Boris," Kodi, Balto's oldest son, sobbed. "I miss him, too," replied the snow goose as the hero's body was laid to rest.

Goodbye, the saviour of Nome

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the one who risked his life

To save the ones he loved

You braved the tundra wild

And saved those who were in pain

Now, you belong to heaven

And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life 

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

On Alaska's snowy hills

Your candle burned out long before

But your legend never did

Jenna, Balto's mate, tried to console her eldest son. "It's alright, Kodi."

A guardian angel lost

Those empty days without your smile

The torch we'll always carry For this town's brave, kind hero

And even though we try

The truth brings us to tears

All our words cannot express

The joyful life you lived through the years

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here on Alaska's snowy hills

Your candle burned out long before

But your legend never did

The town mayor proclaimed, "Balto, the saviour of our little town. May you rest in peace.

Goodbye, Nome's hero May you ever grow in your hearts

You were the one who risked his life To save the ones he loved

Goodbye, Nome's hero

From a small town lost without your soul Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here on Alaska's snowy hills

Your candle burned out long before

But your legend never did
