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 you 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 gonna see you through.
Let me tell you now, tell you now...
When you`re walking in the dead of night,
When your soul is churning,
When you 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.
One ray of light always breaks through.
Follow wherever He takes you.
Wherever He takes you.
