Let Joy And Innocence Prevail [Horn /]

I'll 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 rumour of great battles fought,
Men dying in their thousands, and the world full of fear.

As the day returned 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, and as 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 calles 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 to had, for I am FEARless,
A captian 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.
