You think youre alone there in

Your silent storm

But I've seen the tears you've cried



Fallin down and trying to drown

The flame

of hope inside



Let me tell ya now, tell ya now-



*chorus*

when youre walkin in the dead of night

when ur soul is churnin

when ur hope seems out of sight

keep the candle burnin

all it takes is a one steady heart

in a world that's turnin

shine a light and pierce the dark

keep the candle burnin

keep the candle burnin



when youre down

in your discourage

when the darkness

clouds your view



you gotta gather up

your courage

u no the Lord

he's gonna see you thru



let me tell ya now tell ya now-



*chorus*

when youre walkin in the dead of night

when ur soul is churnin

when ur hope seems out of sight

keep the candle burnin

all it takes is a one steady heart

in a world that's turnin

shine a light and pierce the dark

keep the candle burnin

keep the candle burnin



**instrumental break**



one ray of light

always breaks thru

follow wherever

he takes you



*chorus*

when youre walkin in the dead of night

when ur soul is churnin

when ur hope seems out of sight

keep the candle burnin

all it takes is a one steady heart

in a world that's turnin

shine a light and pierce the dark

keep the candle burnin

keep the candle burnin



*repeat*

when youre walkin in the dead of night

when ur soul is churnin

when ur hope seems out of sight

keep the candle burnin

just a one steady heart

in a world that's turnin

shine a light and pierce the dark

keep the candle burnin

keep the candle burnin



keep the candle burnin

keep the candle burnin!



just a one steady heart

in a world that's turnin



na na na

keep the candle

keep the candle

keep the candle burnin

keep the candle burnin



**fade out**
