From the recording Avalanche
Lyrics
He asked her out because he thought she was pretty
She never gave any thought to the colour of his skin
The reserve was on the other side of the city. How would she explain their love to her kin?
From the time that he was a little baby until the day that he became a grown man. A lot of people had always acted petty towards folks that looked like him.
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Her father had served in the army, when wind-talkers were all we were ever good for. Now ain’t it such a pity? He never wanted one to walk through his front door.
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
We have to come on through the darkness
We have to listen to the ancient stones
We have got to come on into the light awhile
We don't have to face things alone
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
We have to come on through the anger
We have to come on through the hate
We’re well aware of the danger
But we know it’s not too late
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
We have to come up through the valley
We have to climb over the wall
We have got to get closer to each other
That way we won't fall
We’re gonna get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
The battle is not over
If thoughts could kill they’d be no one around
We need to love and respect our neighbours
Not bare arms and shoot them down
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
We have to come on through the darkness.
We have to help others across
Even now in our darkest hour
It’s dark but we’re not lost
Love is the first responder
There’s never been any doubt in my mind?
The colour of skin is like water. We were born to be colour blind.
We have got to come on over the line awhile
There are better times ahead
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
Never Let Your Light Go Dim
We’re going to get through these troubled times
