Lyrics
When storms rage about you
don't forget to raise a sail.
When darkness of night seems long
Morning's light will prevail.
When freezing winds are howling
fight them with a flame (your burning flame)
CHORUS
Don't ever lose your love
or a hand to help a friend.
We all can rise above
those WOUNDS THAT NEVER MEND.
When death stares you down
try to face it with a smile.
When your mind is full of worry
just stop and think a while.
When the guns of war are blazing
show some kindness and some care.
When the word of God seems lost
whisper a little prayer (just a little prayer)
CHORUS
Bridge
Don't ever lower the sail.
Don't let the light grow dim.
Don't let your prayers go stale,
or your smile grow grim.
Your kindness never doubt.
Your mind not twist and bend.
Don't let the flame go out and
the wounds will quickly mend.
CHORUS
