Run and hide
A candle in the dark
There’s a storm outside my door
The long cold night descends
Thousands of miles away
The senseless wars never end
Why, why
The battles rage but I stand aloof
My soul they can’t coerce
Though bullets fly missiles explode
I won’t be thrown off course
We’ll keep hope alive
For you
Please keep the fires burning bright
Through the whispered horrors of the night
And shield the dying candle of hope
Emerge from darkness into the light
Loose chains of guilt, cannot restrain
The lure of amoral gain
Greed’s hunger feasts on precious dreams
And turns them into schemes
Why, why
Still I run and you hide
In the light we cannot see
Through the dark, we will find our way
As the twilight fades to day
We’ll keep hope alive
For you
Please keep the fires burning bright
Through the whispered horrors of the night
And shield the dying candle of hope
Emerge from darkness into the light
A candle in the dark
