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
