[Verse: Repeat 2x]
You're my candle in a darkened house
You say "Relax, I’ll lead the way"
Up the staircase in this darkened house
Out through the window, we're away
[Pre-Chorus]
I've waited a lifetime these night wings to fly
The lights of the city below
Too cold in the dark was my lonely goodbye
But now there’s a new light I know
[Chorus]
And you'll keep burning, burning bright
Forever and ever and ever
You'll keep burning, burning bright
Forever and ever and ever
You'll keep burning, burning bright
Forever and ever and ever
You'll keep burning, burning bright
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And you'll keep burning, burning bright
You'll keep burning, burning bright
You'll keep burning, burning bright
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
You’ll keep burning, burning bright
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever...
[Post-Chorus]
And you’ll keep burning, burning bright
Forever and ever and ever and ever, Amen
[Outro]
You're my candle in a darkened house
