Hold Up a Light

Hold up a light, steady and bright
Cut like a knife through the cold and dark
These eager flames can’t be contained
Cities are claimed by the smallest spark

It’s raining and I know we’re tired
But try to raise your lamps a little higher up

Hold up a light
Hold up a light
Hold up a light till the morning comes
Hold up a light
Hold up a light
Hold up a light till the world is won

Soaking and scared worse for the wear
But still we dare for the light of the day
Darkness above but we’re dreaming of the
New day when love burns this night away

It’s raining and I know we’re tired
But try to raise your lamps a little higher up

Hold up a light
Hold up a light
Hold up a light till the morning comes
Hold up a light
Hold up a light
Hold up a light till the world is won

Hold up a light, steady and bright
Cut like a knife through the cold and dark
These eager flames can’t be contained
Cities are claimed by the smallest spark

It’s raining and I know we’re tired
But try to raise your lamps a little higher up

Hold up a light
Hold up a light
Hold up a light till the morning comes
Hold up a light
Hold up a light
Hold up a light till the world is won
