As The Sun Sets Now

As the sun sets now
And the music fades
And there’s darkness all around
When we’re all inside
There’s a light that shines
And it burns within our hearts

And we give each other hope
In a flicker stream of phones
All the messages of love
In a smile our laughter grows … as we hold the sun here

In our hearts
As we know we’re not alone tonight

When the doors are barred
And the city’s closed
And there’s silence all around
When we feel afraid
When we feel alone
And we lose the joy of life

Every window holds a light
Every city shares a sound
Chords of courage reach outside
From the balconies around … as we hold the sun here

In our hearts
As we know we’re not … alone tonight
As we hold the sun here in our hearts
As we know we’re not alone tonight
We’re not alone tonight
