For the Lost Lyrics by Tom Chaplin

Twelve Tales of Christmas

2017

[Verse 1]
Everyone is running scared
All terrified and unprepared
For where we are and what we have in store
You can turn your head away
Or you can turn to God and pray
But either way, the writing's on the wall
I hope, oh
But either way, the writing's on the wall

[Chorus]
Bring your light, only bring your light
Bring your light, only bring your light
For the lost, for the lost in our time
For the lost and an end to the night
Bring your light, only bring your light

[Verse 2]
Every heart and every soul
In every town around the world
Don't we all deserve a little more
And how we try to right the wrong
We talk of love and moving on
But every year is like the one before
I hope, oh
But every year's like the one before

[Chorus]
Bring your light, only bring your light
Bring your light, only bring your light
For the lost, for the lost in our time
For the lost and an end to the night
Bring your light, only bring your light

[Bridge]
So gather up, don't be afraid
The future's ours and ours to make
Never mind the writing on the wall
Oh, yeah, all together, sing it loud
The time is right to bring it now
Don't we all deserve a little more

[Chorus]
Bring your light, only bring your light
Bring your light, only bring your light
For the lost, for the lost in our time
For the lost and an end to the night
Bring your light, only bring your light
