LIGHT A CANDLE
Out of the dark, into the light, light a candle in the night.
Out of the dark, into the light, light a candle in the night
(Verse)
All alone, when you feel despair, when walking down the streets of fear,
just look ahead, through the gloom, see the light, it shines for you.
(Chorus)
Light a candle in the night. Let it burn like the morning light.
Out of the dark, into the light, light a candle in the night.
(Verse)
Brighter days are drawing near, no need to fret, no need to fear.
The eternal flame burns within your heart.
Up springs the light out of the dark.
(Chorus)
Light a candle in the night. Let it burn like the morning light,
Light a candle in the night (repeat).
Out of the dark, into the light, light a candle in the night.
Out of the dark, into the light, light a candle in the night
(Verse)
All alone, when you feel despair, when walking down the streets of fear,
just look ahead, through the gloom, see the light, it shines for you.
(Chorus)
Light a candle in the night. Let it burn like the morning light.
Out of the dark, into the light, light a candle in the night.
(Verse)
Brighter days are drawing near, no need to fret, no need to fear.
The eternal flame burns within your heart.
Up springs the light out of the dark.
(Chorus)
Light a candle in the night. Let it burn like the morning light,
Light a candle in the night (repeat).

TICKIN AWAY
(Chorus)
Time is tickin away get your business straight
No time to delay no time is tickin away
Morning will break when the dark shadows flee
Open the door for the good let it be
Let the thirsty drink from the fountain of peace
In the power of truth we will all find release
(Chorus)
Time is tickin away get your business straight
No time to delay no time is tickin away
We can’t be one without unity
There is no joy if the people aren’t free
Let the thirsty drink from the fountain of peace
In the power of truth we will all find release
(Chorus)
Time is tickin away get your business straight
No time to delay no time is tickin away
You find the glories in trophies of war
But shut the door to the cries of the poor
Let the thirsty drink from the fountain of peace
In the power of truth we will all find release
(Chorus)
Time is tickin away get your business straight
No time to delay no time is tickin away
(Chorus)
Time is tickin away get your business straight
No time to delay no time is tickin away
Morning will break when the dark shadows flee
Open the door for the good let it be
Let the thirsty drink from the fountain of peace
In the power of truth we will all find release
(Chorus)
Time is tickin away get your business straight
No time to delay no time is tickin away
We can’t be one without unity
There is no joy if the people aren’t free
Let the thirsty drink from the fountain of peace
In the power of truth we will all find release
(Chorus)
Time is tickin away get your business straight
No time to delay no time is tickin away
You find the glories in trophies of war
But shut the door to the cries of the poor
Let the thirsty drink from the fountain of peace
In the power of truth we will all find release
(Chorus)
Time is tickin away get your business straight
No time to delay no time is tickin away
