Text:
The song you sing to me is illuminating and pure
It brings the shadows of the night to their knees
It brightens the flowers left by the grave
And coos the newborn babies left in the nursery
Your song is the one that makes the sun rise and set
Whose voice will light the match of a candle
Of a world left in the dark
It will guide the way of tomorrow’s children
To always fulfill a world of light
So sing me your song of luminous glow
For the angels will carry your melody
And a better world we’ll know
