when the world is dark, when the lights go down
when the demons walk, when they''re all around
there''s a light that comes from a place on high
there''s a light that comes that the angels shine
and it shines for you, and it shines for me
and it shlnes for all, and it shines for free
when the world Is dark, when the demons walk
there''s a light that shines like a burning arc

and though I walk through the valley of the shadow
I will fear no evil
and though I walk through the valley of the shadow
I will fear no evil

since the dawn of time, when the world began
we''ve borne witness to all the acts of man
how he ruled the earth, when he learned to walk
how he learned to hurt, when he learned to talk
and he''s broken laws, and he''s broken dreams
and he''s broken bones, and ignored the screams
through the longest day, through the darkest night
there wlll always shine, his redeeming light

and though I walk through the valley of the shadow
I will fear no evll
and though I walk through the valley of the shadow
I will fear no evll
