Time to celebrate Softly as my spirit wakes from its sleep Time for sacred choirs to raise the fallen nations And every voice will sing Anthems of praise and jubilation I have failed All my shallow dreams have come to no avail But there's still a flame inside and it's burning higher I will find a way Through this darkness My heart's on fire There's a silver moon Floating like a glass balloon in the sky And the promises of dawn seem pale and hollow We are castaways Drifting in the night with no tomorrows I have failed All my shallow dreams have come to no avail But there's still a flame inside and it's burning higher I will find a way Through this darkness My heart's on fire Time to celebrate Softly as my spirit wakes from its sleep Time for sacred choirs to raise the fallen nations And every voice will sing A thousand joyful hymns My heart's on fire
