Candle In the Dark

When the world goes black,
look for me.
If you feel there is no going back,
I'll help you see.
I am your candle in the dark.

When emptiness covers,
look for me.
If you feel undercover,
I'll help you be.
I am a candle in the dark.

When tears threaten to spill,
look for me.
If you can't feel full,
I'll help you be free.
You hold a candle in the dark.

When you choose to battle the pain,
look for me.
If you pick the right lane,
I'll help you find the key.
You are a candle fighting the dark.


Let your light shine.
