Lyrics
Dark night on the water wide Lamp on the rock, our guide Hold on steady, hold on strong Morning is coming, won't be long Morning is coming, keep the light Morning is coming, hold on tight Lamp on the rock, burning bright Morning is coming, keep the light Storm may rise and waves may roar Light still shines on the shore Faith is a flame you carry in Let it burn, let it begin Morning is coming, keep the light Morning is coming, hold on tight Lamp on the rock, burning bright Morning is coming, keep the light One light, one light, shining true Every sailor, it shines for you Dawn comes up in gold and red Wake up, children, rise from bed The work is waiting, the day is new Carry the light and see it through Morning is coming, keep the light Morning is coming, hold on tight Lamp on the rock, burning bright Morning is coming, keep the light Keep the light, keep the light Morning is coming
