Light up, light up the dark
And even when you think you're lost
Hope is blazing in the night
Illuminating
So you never go astray
Ain't no use livin' in the past
As a slave to yesterday
All's been said, it's done at last
Been faded into grey
The road to Hell, I know it well
I've been there half my life
On a street of dreams, and useless schemes
My hopes have been denied
But there ain't no use complaining
'Cos it don't do any good
It's about time to start reclaiming
To take back all that once was mine
Light up, light up the dark
And even when you think you're lost
Hope is blazing in the night
Illuminating
So you never go astray
It's the rising dawn, let the night be gone
Gotta wash those blues away
Down on heartbreak ridge, fallen off the ledge
For a spell I went astray
But there ain't no use complaining
'Cos it don't do any good
It's about time to start reclaiming
To take back all that once was mine
Light up, light up the dark
And even when you think you're lost
Hope is blazing in the night
Illuminating
So you never go astray
Looking back on wasted years
Wading through the fallen tears
All rivers run into the sea
Of new begotten mysteries
So breathe
Light up, light up the dark
And even when you think you're lost
Hope is blazing in the night
Illuminating
So you never go astray
