Ooh

When darkness falls
When the cold overtakes you
When darkness calls
When the cold nearly breaks you 

When snow begins piling
When faces stop smiling
When skies begin greying
When children stop playing
When warmth starts receding
When hearts slow their beating
When winds begin howling 
When stomachs are growling 
When hearts turn to stone 
When you most feel alone 
darkness falls!

When darkness falls!

When darkness falls,
I reach for a friend.

I reach!

And in the end,
darkness falls away.
So in the end,
when darkness falls away:

Shine!
Shine!
Shine!
