Lantern

When you're young The fire burns so high But over time You'll find it might lose height Or even die low But so what? You may have lost your way But through the trees I'll wait You'll see a glow so faint But never flickers The blood that's running is thicker I know Wherever you brave I'm gonna follow Give air to the flame When it feels hollow When it fights through rain And the night remains past morning You've been climbing all your life I know your hands hurt You had your mind, but now it can't work Just follow the light of my lantern You've been climbing all your life I know your hands hurt You had your mind, but now it can't work Just follow the light of my lantern When you've grown Your skies will quiet down It doesn't seem it now But I've got the same engrained and bound Inside of my bones And so what? It's never just one way But on the denser days That make you lose your trace You'll still find me You've been climbing all your life I know your hands hurt You had your mind, but now it can't work Just follow the light of my lantern You've been climbing all your life I know your hands hurt You had your mind, but now it can't work Just follow the light of my lantern The embers of my presence Are always warm Remember there's a heaven In every storm The embers of my presence Are always warm Remember there's a heaven In every storm I know Wherever you brave I'm gonna follow Give air to the flame When it feels hollow When it fights through rain And the night remains past morning You've been climbing all your life I know your hands hurt You had your mind, but now it can't work Just follow the light of my lantern You've been climbing all your life I know your hands hurt You had your mind, but now it can't work Just follow the light of my lantern
