By my Lantern Light
Evening lights retire one by one.
Tired eyes are setting with the sun.
But surely as the day is done
Some walk in shadows.
Faces that I've never seen before,
Some I've known so well I can't ignore
Their voices calling at my door.
Lost as the wind blows.
And by my lantern light
deep within the night
Trav'lers turn to me with weary eyes.
Brilliantly it glows
like a sky composed
Of stars that glimmer as the darkness grows.
Bringing hope, giving life.
burning brightly by my lantern light.
I would give ev'ry tiny part
ev'ry hidden corner of my heart
to mend a world that's torn apart.
healing the aching
Reaching out, something in my soul
cries out loud
Not for me but so much more
for those who wander in the cold.
Trembling and shaking
And by my lantern light
deep within the night
Trav'lers turn to me with weary eyes.
Brilliantly it glows
like a sky composed
Of stars that glimmer as the darkness grows.
Bringing hope, giving life,
burning brightly by my lantern light.
And should it fade away.
its ashes turned to gray it's not too late.
For ev'ry fire that dies
the sun won't fail to rise another day.
And by my lantern light
deep within the night
Trav'lers turn to me with weary eyes
Brilliantly it glows like a sky composed
Of stars that glimmer as the darkness grows.
Bringing hope, giving life
burning brightly by my lantern light
The sound quality isn't the best on this recording, but you can get aa feel for the song.
