Candle In the Dark

When the world goes black, look for me. If you feel there is no going back, I'll help you see. I am your candle in the dark. When emptiness covers, look for me. If you feel undercover, I'll help you be. I am a candle in the dark. When tears threaten to spill, look for me. If you can't feel full, I'll help you be free. You hold a candle in the dark. When you choose to battle the pain, look for me. If you pick the right lane, I'll help you find the key. You are a candle fighting the dark. Let your light shine.
