Lanterns

Mmm mm lanterns glow the night is wide

Shadows fade where the light survives

I was walking blind through the midnight rain

Carrying the weight of my hidden pain

But a spark lit up where I thought I'd fall

A lantern burning through it all

Every step I take I see the flame

Guiding me back when I lost my name

Even in the dark where the silence grew

Lanterns shine they lead me to You

Through the night through the fire

Lanterns lift my spirit higher

Even when the world feels gone

I keep moving I hold on

Lanterns glow they light my way

Through the dark they never sway

Every flame is proof I rise

Lanterns burn in hollow skies

I was lost in the storm with no end in sight

Every tear was a battle every breath a fight

But the fire inside kept a steady glow

Lanterns shining where the rivers flow

Even broken hearts can find the flame

Even shattered souls still call His name

In the blackest night when the fear's too near

Lanterns burn and the path is clear

Through the night through the fire

Lanterns lift my spirit higher

Even when the world feels gone

I keep moving I hold on

Lanterns glow they light my way

Through the dark they never sway

Every flame is proof I rise

Lanterns burn in hollow skies

Mmm mm lanterns shine

Guiding every step of mine

Mmm mm through the storm

Lanterns keep me warm

Lanterns glow they light my way

Through the dark they never sway

Every flame is proof I rise

Lanterns burn in hollow skies

Mmm mm lanterns glow

Carry me home
