Life puts our hearts through changes But we're better for the wear For the scars from our mistakes Are the wisdom we now share That someone else is needing To illuminate their walk As they try to find their place Somewhere in the will of God Sometimes we're Candles in the night Shining someone home We may not know their name Cause we're praying for their soul Cause we're candles in the night Pushing back the dark Reaching for their hearts We're candles in the night So if you run into a stranger Wandering down some road You just might be the angel That they've been praying for So let His light beam through you Like a beacon on the sea You might be someone's blessing The answer to their need Sometimes we're Candles in the night Shining someone home We may not know their name Cause we're praying for their soul Cause we're candles in the night Pushing back the dark Reaching for their hearts We're candles in the night Light of the world Shine through us So all will see Your love All will see Your love Candles in the night Shining someone home We may not know their name Cause we're praying for their soul Cause we're candles in the night Pushing back the dark Reaching for their hearts We're candles in the night
