Intro: (G)-(G)-(Am)-(Am/G)-(F)-(G)-(C)

(C)So many (G)hands reach from the (Am)darkness,
(F)Some are reaching for the (G)Light.
(C)Their faces (G)filled with fasci(Am)nation,
(F)Like hope and joy has hypno(G)tized.
(F)Still others try to quench our (G)Light;
(Em)They've been exposed and they're en(F)ra-a-aged.
(Am)Only in lies is (G)their delight,
(Em)Against the truth their war is (F)wa-aged,
Their war is wa-a-a-a(C)aged.

Chorus:
We're like a (G)light in the (Am)ni-i(Am/G)-i(F)ight,
A flame and candle so (G)bri-i-i-i-ight.
(C)We're burning (G)free in our (Am)fight(Am/G)
(F)To guide the world with His (G)Light.
(C)The greatest (G)danger to the (Am)Light
(F)Are tender hands of ones so (G)dear.
(C)Against these (G)hands is your greatest (Am)fight.
(F)I think by now the warning's (G)clear.
(F)For they will smother you with (G)safety,
(Em)And they will quench you with their (F)ca-are-
You'd best bewa-a-a-a-(C)are!

(G)-(Am)-(Am/G)-(F)-(G)-(C)
(G)-(Am)-(Am/G)-(F)-(G)

(C)The helpful (G)hands are heaven(Am)ly, so heavenly,
(F)Supplying oil when you're in (G)need.
(C)The Lord, the (G)Keeper of the (Am)flame,
(F)Is ever near, just call His (G)Name.
(F)Burn free, beloved, don't (G)quench His fire.
(Em)Go now and set this world a(F)fla-a-ame.
(Am)Above their ashes of traditions (G)the truth must ri-ise.
(Em)Burn free, beloved, 'cause this (F)is your day,
Oh, this is your da-ay-ay(C)ay.
