Lyrics

If it's a light
Then let it grow
Don't let it fall
Don't let it stumble
If it's a light
Then let it grow
Don't let it fall
Don't let it stumble
We've been down this road before
Seen too much now to ignore
Come away from the darkness, darling
Step back into the light again
If you call my name then I will come
Don't let the wildness of time
Cloud your view
We'll keep walking this road
Me and you
Come away from the darkness, darling
Come back into the light again
If you call my name, I will come
If it's a light
Then let it grow
Don't let it fall
Don't let it stumble
(If it's a light)
(Then let it grow)
(Don't let it fall)
Don't let it stumble
If it's a light
Then let it grow
Don't let it fall, don't let it stumble
If it's a light
Then let it grow
Don't let it fall, don't let it stumble
If it's a light
Then let it grow
Don't let it fall, don't let it stumble
If it's a light
Then let it grow
Don't let it fall, don't let it stumble...
