When silence screams and echoes run dry The night swallows day in a shadowy sky The darkness dances but loses its way When the first light rises, it melts the gray In darkened rooms, choose to shine bright The first light is courage in your sight Fear will bow, it can’t stay long Whoever holds the flame will always be strong The flickering candle is quiet strength Breaking the chains of doubt at length The blackness fades with a faithful spark Each step forward conquers the dark In darkened rooms, choose to shine bright, The first light is courage in your sight Fear will bow, it can’t stay long Whoever holds the flame will always be strong Behind closed windows, the sun wants to glow A single crack can let it all show One simple match can break the chain In the glow of hope, life sings again In darkened rooms, choose to shine bright The first light is courage in your sight Fear will bow, it can’t stay long Whoever holds the flame will always be strong In darkened rooms, choose to shine bright The first light is courage in your sight Fear will bow, it can’t stay long Whoever holds the flame will always be strong The shadows fall at the touch of love Each spark renews the warmth above The future rises with a radiant face The first light marks the starting place In darkened rooms, choose to shine bright The first light is courage in your sight Fear will bow, it can’t stay long Whoever holds the flame will always be Strong In darkened rooms, choose to shine bright The first light is courage in your sight Fear will bow, it can’t stay long Whoever holds the flame will always be Strong
