Could there be this much darkness

In one night so long

Could there be enough love

To combat this night stretching on

I will dig my trench in hope

It won't be my grave

My spirit is more than

My flesh is brave



(Chorus)

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

I will light my candle

And burn it bright in an endless night

I can handle, I can

Burn it bright in an endless night



Come join me brothers, sisters

Bring your children too

We will stand together

Our faith will bring us thru

If this is the beginning

Of the end of time

How much longer have we

Got to sing this rhyme



(Chorus)

Tonight, tonight

I will light my candle

And burn it bright in and endless night



I see the light of a new day

I hold my breath and I pray

That we'll be stronger, that we'll be stronger

I'll reach out and take your hand

Our love will give us strength to stand

And we'll be wiser - we'll be wiser



(Chorus)

Tonight, tonight

I will light my candle

And burn it bright in and endless night
