Longest Night of The Year
Standing in the dark we light a candle
As we hold on to the hope that things will change
That love will lead the way
Back into the light
The heart of winter is upon us
A chill wind touches every bone
Frost grows on the glass
As daylight gives into the night
Chorus
But somewhere in the shadows we find faith
That is bold enough to chase away our fears
On the longest night of the year
There are days that we remember
When the sun shone brightly in the sky
When all the world was new
And storm clouds passed us by
But summer travels toward the winter
Through autumn’s colors as they fall
As we strain to remember the sound
Of the songbird’s call
The promise of spring
Still lives within us
Even when
It seems so far away
We hold hands and walk together
Not knowing where the path will lead
As we dare to hold out hope
In our time of need
And somewhere in the shadows we find faith
That is bold enough to chase away our fears
Yes somewhere in the shadows we find faith
That is bold enough to chase away our tears
On the longest night of the year
