LYRICS

Lost and lonely trav’ler, 
trying to find your way
through the bleak and blust’ry night
home for Christmas Day.
Though the road is misty, 
there’s darkness all around,
ignite now, a spark of hope
a light will soon be found.
 
I’ll leave a candle in the window
a flame that’s burning bright,
a steadfast sign of welcome 
piercing through the night.
To you and ev’ry longing heart
lost this Christmas Day,
let this be the beacon
that helps you find your way.
 
Your spirit’s worn and weary
been wandering so long.
Tired of trav’ling all alone,
no strength to carry on.
You’re searching for a signpost,
not sure which way to go;
look up–see the heavens glow,
a star will lead you home.
 
I’ll leave a candle in the window,
a flame that’s burning bright,
a steadfast sign of welcome
piercing through the night.
To you and ev’ry longing heart
lost this Christmas Day,
let this be the beacon
that helps you find your way.
 
Your chair is waiting,
fireplace blazing,
flames are dancing,
cider’s hot.
Sip some cocoa,
let your eyes close,
dream of finding 
parts you’ve lost.
 
For there’s a candle in your soul now,
a flame that’s burning bright,
a steadfast sign of welcome
piercing through the night.
To you and ev’ry longing heart
lost this Christmas Day,
keep your candle burning
and you’ll always find your way.
Keep you candle burning–
you will always show the way.
