Candle in the Longest Night

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of courage In the softest spoken hearts The kind that holds a family When the world is falling apart A gentle hand, a knowing smile A spirit pure and true Some folks just shine a little brighter In all the things they do [Chorus] Hold on, dear one, hold on tight You're a candle in the longest night Stronger than you'll ever know Watch how far that light can go Through every road, through every test You are loved, you are blessed [Verse 2] Danielle, you carry kindness Like a song the wind can hear Timid steps but mighty footprints On the ones who hold you dear Reserved in all your beauty But your love speaks loud and clear And every soul you've touched Is grateful that you're here [Chorus] Hold on, Danielle, hold on tight You're a candle in the longest night Stronger than you'll ever know Watch how far that light can go Through every road, through every test You are loved, you are blessed [Bridge] A new chapter's calling Turn the page, don't be afraid The greatest love you'll ever give Is the kind that's still being made [Verse 3] You'll be a mother someday With those tender, healing hands Singing lullabies of comfort That a child will understand And the family who has watched you Will be standing by your side Cheering on the woman, Danielle You've always been inside [Outro] So shine on, gentle daughter Through whatever comes your way You are loved beyond all measure Now and every day
