Hold up a light, steady a bright
Out 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 a bright
Out 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
