Tonight

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
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
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
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
I will light my candle
And burn it bright in an 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
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
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
I will light my candle
And burn it bright in an endless night
Tonight, tonight, oh
Tonight, tonight
