Where were you when the lights went out

and darkness came to call?

Waiting for the moon to rise

and come and save us all

 

Where were you when the lights went out and darkness came along?

Dancing by the fire, drinking spirits, singing songs

 

Some will warn of darkness yet to come

We will hold out for the morning sun

 

Did you lift your voices with the people in the square?

Yes we lit a candle with our neighbor gathered there

 

Did you see the walls come down within every person’s heart?

We occupied the empty space that once kept us apart

 

Some will warn of darkness yet to come

We will hold out for the morning sun

 

The birds have started singing; the night has been redeemed

Spinning down the moment and we’re drifting off to dream

 

Tomorrow when lights come back can we carry on? 

The fellowship of kindness that united us in song?

 

Some will warn of darkness yet to come

We will hold out for the morning sun
