I tell you of a girl, her husband was a soldier Gone to war in some strange country far away No word had come to her But the rumors of great battles fought Men dying in their thousands and a world full of fear As the day would turn to evening she would light a pure white candle And place it in a window bright from where it could be seen As she placed it in the window softly without thinking She said let this burning candle be a beacon Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Believe that love will never fail Let joy and innocence prevail And one night, asleep, she dreamed she saw her husband fall In a great white cavalry charge And waking in tears, she saw the candle burning in the window She still had hope And through the window, a man in the distance But has he came closer, she saw he was a stranger The stranger said I bring a message from a general A captain has been wounded, his life hangs by a thread He calls out your name and he wishes you to come to him But the journey is a hard road and you may be afraid And she laughed and said no road could be too hard for I am fearless A captain and a husband I have gained this bright new day And she said with all her heart she would fly to be beside him And her love would heal his wounds, restore him to her Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Believe that love will never fail Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail Believe that love will never fail Let joy and innocence prevail Let joy and innocence prevail
