lyrics

We can see the light is fading
The sun is quickly setting
I hear that midnight train coming ‘round the bend
Oh the darkness rolls like thunder
And I feel I’m going under
Are you my enemies or are you my friend

Yes I’ve heard that you’ve been dreaming
And I’ve watched you building fires
Don’t be ashamed of the candle that you’re holding
It’s gunna get me through the midnight hour

Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light so I can see

To my brothers and my sisters
To all their sons and daughters
Did you know, you are not alone
You ain’t a number you got a name
So put your candle to the flame
Its gunna light my way back home

Yes I’ve heard that you’ve been dreaming
And I’ve watched you building fires
Don’t be ashamed of the candle that your holding
It’s gunna get me through the midnight hour

Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light so I can see

Cos a candle in the dark is more precious than gold
And a story ain’t a story until it’s been told
I said a candle in the dark is more precious than gold
And a story ain’t a story until it’s been told

Shine your light
Shine your light
Shine your light so I can see
