Where does the
G 
light go
 
When the candle burns
C 
out?
 
Does it dance on the

water
 
From an old light
D 
house?
 
Does it move through

fireflies
 
Into thunder
C 
clouds?
 
Where does the

light go
D 
 
When the candle burns
G 
out?
 
Verse 2
 
Where does the
G 
light go?
 
When the fire dies
C 
down?
 
Does it rise in
G 
to the sun
 
Or hide beneath the
D 
ground?
 
Does it blaze an
G 
other trail
 
To another
C 
town?
 
Where does the

down?
 
Chorus
 
'Cause if you
Em 
close eyes
G/B 
After
C 
looking at the light
 
It’ll
G 
shine in your mind
 
It’ll
Bm7 
shine in your mind
 
Like a
Em 
lantern for the dark
G/B 
You can
C 
carry in your heart
 
Let it
G/D 
shine in your mind
 
Let it
D 
shine in your mind
D 
 
Verse 3
 
Where did the
G 
light go
 
On the day that He
C 
died?
 
It ran in
G 
to a grave
 
And down Mary’s
D 
eyes
 
It stayed there for
G/B 
three days
 
In the darkest
C 
night
 
It opened
G/D 
heaven’s door
D 
 
And said come on in
G 
side
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
Verse 4
 
Where does the
G 
light go
 
When we take our last
C 
breath?
 
Does it float out the
G 
window
 
Onto heaven’s
D 
steps?
 
Will the Sun say “
G/B 
Welcome home
 
It’s like you never
C 
left”
 
Where does the
G/D 
light go
D 
 
Where does the
C 
light
G 
go
