when we embark into the distress
when it's dark don't curse the darkness
just light a candle in the midst of it
we want out but we're still stuck in
hanging on but the thread is so thin
we're gunna get out of this empty pit

wait for it
patience - love will keep the lamp lit
just a bit
hold on remember hope is infinite
we're gunna make it through night
wait for it - we'll keep the lamp lit

in troubled it's hard to see
how we can stand up in this debris
steady in the face of strong adversity
seven times we've fallen down
eight times we get up off the ground
failure is not the falling but it's the staying down

lights are on the way
bright lights are on the way
until then we're gunna stay
lights are on the way
