light a candle

Neil Young

Instead of cursing the darkness
Light a candle for where we're goin'
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.

It's a chance to give new meaning
to every move we make
Through the caverns in the caves
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 goin'
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.
