All The Candles In The World Lyrics

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.  
 
all the candles in the world 
would not 
would not be enough 
would not be enough to match the fever in my soul 
and the fervor in my heart 
and the darkness that I feel 
as I`m goin` goin` goin` goin` goin` goin` down 
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? 
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 fervor in our eyes 
as we`re hoping and we`re praying 
and we`re setting out into the streets 
the back streets of the world 
and a prayer going up 
and a prayer going down 
and the darkened eaves the pigeons 
and the candlelight processions 
on the streets down below 
as we`re searching and we`re seeking 
and we`re goin` goin` forgive us lord 
we`re goin` goin` down 
goin` down on our knees 
amen
