Dark in the world, our path is so uncertain
Stories once told, are not helping us through
When our days are done, we go behind the curtain
Will there be a place which is golden and new?

Or do we pass our lives turn into shadows
Our once-full glass now emptied of its wine
So one thing we can do
To see those that follow make it through

In our dark times
We light a light and we leave it to shine
In our dark times
We light a light and we leave it to shine

Sages have said that heaven is within us
The gift of love is a gift made to share
In our span of years, if we can help each other
Help those alone, help to nurture and care

And then that light will shine through hours of darkness
That one bright star will guide us on our way
See the break of the day
See all that life on display

To love, only to love, to love
Light up the world in its holiest soul
To love, only to love, to love
Light up the world in its holiest soul
