Lyrics
It’s been so long, here in the dark

Following the voyage you embarked

It’s been so cold, beyond the sun

Waiting for a sign to come

And I never thought I’d see the day

Amid this endless night

But for all the years without you

I held the light

You were kind, amidst the pain

From a place of sunshine, wind and rain

You gave me hope that there was more

You gave me something to hope for

Yet that hope was dashed when you were

And the world no longer bright

But I found a drive to carry on

I held the light

Oh there’s a place, beyond this war

That I couldn’t see anymore

You’re in a place where fighting’s done

Where one day I swore I would come

But when I was ready for that place

I felt a spark ignite

When the time came I was needed

I held the light

I kept my word, my work was done

But you said “Go, see the sun”

I could have stayed, I couldn’t wait

To be with you, oh welcome fate

Now there’s others still who need me

Up in the sun’s warm light

But as long as you will walk with me

I’ll hold the light
