light a candle

neil young

instead of cursing the darkness

light a candle for where we're going

there's something ahead

worth fighting for. when the light of time is on us

you will see our moment come

and the living soul inside will carry on. it's a chance to give new meaning to every move we make

in the cavern

in the cave

where we come from. when the light of dawn is on us

we will see what we can be

and the ancient ones can sleep an easy sleep

in the hallways of the ages

on the road to history

what we do now will always be with us. it's a chance to give new meaning to every move we make

in the caverns

in the caves

where we come from. instead of cursing the darkness

light a candle for where we're going

there's something ahead

worth looking for. when the light of time is on us

we will see our moment come

and the living soul inside will carry on. light a candle in the darkness

so others might see ahead

light a candle in the darkness

when you go. light a candle in the darkness

so others might see ahead

light a candle in the darkness

when you go.
