From the recording Light (Candle in the Dark)

Lyrics

Light (Candle in the Dark)



We can wait here on a miracle

We can waste another day

Holding out the hope that a change will come

That will take our pain away



We can raise our eyes to the heavens high

Praying for a better fate

But the only thing that I’m certain of

Is we’ll grow old while we wait



Waiting, we’ve been waiting

We’ve been here for all these years

Despite the hating

Waiting, no more waiting

Now the fear of all those years is finally fading



We have/For we’ve tread in place, ‘fraid of making waves

Trying to keep our heads above

In the sea of lies of those who despise

Who we are or how we love



But/And the time has come now to sink or swim

'Fore we wash upon the beach

Through the ebbing tide lies a better way

That at last is in our reach



You can cry for years

Shed a sea of tears

Drowning out your sacred spark

Or light a single candle in the dark
