Lyrics
Helpless children of the night
Groping blindly for the right
The flame of hope is near
Refrain:
What’s that light that is beckoning?
Through the night it is beckoning
Come, come, come, come
Take your new day of reckoning
What new fire is enthralling you?
Soul of Russia is calling you, On! On!
Up the hill of hope and glory
Follow, follow the Flame
