You think you're alone there in your silent storm
but I've seen the tears you've cried,
fallin' down and tryin' to drown the flame
of hope inside. Let me tell you now, tell you now.

        When you're walkin in the dead of night,
        when your soul is churnin'
        when your hope seems out of sight,
        keep the candle burnin'.
        All it takes is one steady heart
        in a world that's trunin'
        Shine a light and pierce the dark.
        Keep the candle burnin'
        keep the candle burnin'.

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 know, tell you now.

        When you're walkin in the dead of night,
        when your soul is churnin'
        when your hope seems out of sight,
        keep the candle burnin'.
        All it takes is one steady heart
        in a world that's turnin'
        Shine a light and pierce the dark.
        Keep the candle burnin'
        keep the candle burnin'.
