Where does the light go When the candle burns out? Does it dance on the water From an old lighthouse? Does it move through fireflies Into thunderclouds? Where does the light go When the candle burns out? Where does the light go When the fire dies down? Does it rise into the sun Or hide beneath the ground? Does it blaze another trail To another town? Where does the light go When the fire dies down? 'Cause if you close eyes After looking at the light It'll shine in your mind It'll shine in your mind Like a lantern for the dark You can carry in your heart Let it shine in your mind Let it shine in your mind Where did the light go On the day that He died? It ran into a grave, and down Mary's eyes It stayed there for three days in the darkest night It opened heaven's door And said, "Come on inside." 'Cause if you close eyes After looking at the light It'll shine in your mind It'll shine in your mind Like a lantern for the dark You can carry in your heart Let it shine in your mind Let it shine in your mind Where does the light go When we take our last breath? Does it float out the window Onto heaven's steps? Will the Sun say, "Welcome home. It's like you never left"? Where does the light go? Where does the light go?
