There's a spark inside us
That we can all ignite
And all that's dark inside us
Will flicker into light
There's a pow'r in every breath
There's a pow'r in every note
A pow'r that starts within the heart
A pow'r that rises through the throat
And when it sails up through the air
More beautiful than any prayer!
This pow'r could right a wrong
And it will always thrill the ear
Of those who have the pow'r to hear
The magic of this song
All that's strong inside us
That tells us wrong from right
Becomes a song inside us
To chase away the night
