Let Joy and Innocence Prevail

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

And dying in their thousands and the world full of fearAs 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 beaconLet joy and innocence prevail

Let joy and innocence prevail

Believe that luck will never fail

Let joy and innocence prevailAnd one night, asleep

She dreamed she saw her husband fall

In a great white cavalry chargeAnd waking in tears

She saw the candle burning in the window

She still had hopeAnd through the window

A man in the distance

But as he came closer

She saw he was a strangerThe 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 herLet joy and innocence prevail

Let joy and innocence prevail

Believe that luck will never fail

Let joy and innocence prevailLet joy and innocence prevail

Let joy and innocence prevail

Believe that luck will never fail

Let joy and innocence prevail

Let joy and innocence prevail
