You think you're alone there in your silent storm but I've seen the tears you've cried Falling down and trying to drown The flame of hope inside Let me tell you now, tell you now CHORUS When you're walking in the dead of night When your soul is churning When your hope seems out of sight Keep the candle burning All it takes is one steady heart In a world that's turning Shine a light and pierce the dark Keep the candle burning Keep the candle burning When you're down and you're discouraged When the darkness clouds your view You've got to gather up your courage You know the Lord is going to see you through Let me tell you now, tell you now CHORUS One ray of light always breaks through Follow wherever he takes you Wherever he takes you CHORUS
