All The Candles In The World Lyrics - Jane Siberry

And how many of us will there be? 

More than we are now 

And where will we come from? 

The rivers, the oceans, the ends of the darkest inlets 

The lightest-coloured seas 

Would not, would not be enough 

Would not be enough to match the fever in my soul 

And the fervour in my heart 

And the darkness that I feel 

As I'm goin' goin' goin' goin' goin' goin' down 

And how many of us 

And how many of us will there be? 

All the candles in the world 

Would not be enough to match the burning in my soul 

And the fever in my heart 

Count the places of devotion 

Count the altars of despair 

As we're goin' goin' goin' goin' goin' goin' down 

And how many of us will there be? 

And how many of us? 

All the candles in the world would not be enough 

To match the burning in our souls 

And the fever in our hearts 

And the fervour in our eyes 

As we're hopin' and we're prayin' 

And we're settin' out into the streets 

The back streets of the world 

And a prayer goin' up and a prayer goin' down 

And the darkened eaves the pigeons 

And the candlelight processions 

On the streets down below 

As we're searchin' and we're seekin' 

And we're goin' goin', forgive us Lord 

We're goin' goin' down, goin' down on our knees 

Amen, yeah
