Lyrics
The power cut out at half past eight Thunder rolling at the gate Every window gone to black But nobody's turning back Candle in my neighbour's hand Torchlight on the garden stand Come outside, come see the sky Stars are shining, you and I Whole street dark, whole street singing Lift your voice, let the night go ringing Whole street dark, whole street singing Light is in us, light is in us Old man sits upon the stair Children dancing in the air Mama passes bread around Joy is never underground Whole street dark, whole street singing Lift your voice, let the night go ringing Whole street dark, whole street singing Light is in us, light is in us Let the storm roll over We are standing steady Let the storm roll over Morning going to find us ready Whole street dark, whole street singing Lift your voice, let the night go ringing Whole street dark, whole street singing Light is in us, light is in us Light is in us Light is in us
