Verse 1:
  Em            C         Am            Bm
I tell you of a girl, her husband was a soldier
Em             G            D           Bm
Gone to war in some strange country far away
   Em            Am
No word had come to her
        Bm              Em
But the rumors of great battles fought
    G              D               Bm            Em
Men dying in their thousands and a world full of fear
       G                 D                 Am                 Em
As the day would turn to evening she would light a pure white candle
    G             D            Am                      D
And place it in a window bright from where it could be seen
       Em               G      D              Em
As she placed it in the window softly without thinking
         C                G           D
She said let this burning candle be a beacon

Chorus:
    Em          C        Bm
Let joy and innocence prevail
    C           D        G
Let joy and innocence prevail
  Em                   C     Bm
Believe that love will never fail
    C           D        Em
Let joy and innocence prevail

Spoken verse:
C                      Em
 And one night, asleep, she dreamed she saw her husband fall
C          D                    Bm
 In a great white cavalry charge
Em                  C                                         Em
 And waking in tears, she saw the candle burning in the window
Em
 She still had hope
Am                                    C
 And through the window, a man in the distance
D                                         Bm
 But has he came closer, she saw he was a stranger

Verse 2:
    Em              C       Am             Bm
The stranger said I bring a message from a general
  Em               G            D               Bm
A captain has been wounded, his life hangs by a thread
   Em             Am          Bm            Em
He calls out your name and he wishes you to come to him
        G            D             Bm          Em
But the journey is a hard road and you may be afraid

        G                   D                 Am            Em
And she laughed and said no road could be too hard for I am fearless
  G             D              Am                     D
A captain and a husband I have gained this bright new day
        Em                G               D           Em
And she said with all her heart she would fly to be beside him
        C                   G                   D
And her love would heal his wounds, restore him to her

Chorus:
    Em          C        Bm
Let joy and innocence prevail
    C           D        G
Let joy and innocence prevail
  Em                   C     Bm
Believe that love will never fail
    C           D        G
Let joy and innocence prevail

    Em          C        Bm
Let joy and innocence prevail
    C           D        G
Let joy and innocence prevail
  Em                   C     Bm
Believe that love will never fail
    C           D    G
Let joy and innocence prevail
       C             D   G
Let joy and innocence prevail
