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
And 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 gonna see you through
Let me tell you now
Tell you now

(repeat chorus)
One ray of light always breaks through
Follow wherever he takes you
Wherever he takes you
