Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
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.
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
