Couplet 1

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

Couplet 2

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

Refrain

Cause if you close your 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

Couplet 3

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

Refrain

Cause if you close your 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

Couplet 4

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
