Lanterns

Lately I've found

When I start to think aloud

There's a longing in the sound

There is more I could be

In darkness I leave

For a place I've never seen

It's been calling out to me

That is where I should be

We never carried days on our own

But now it's up to us to know

The weight of being so much more

We will find ourselves on the road

On we march

With a midnight song

We will light our way

With our lanterns on

On we march

Till we meet the dawn

We will light our way

With our lanterns on

As we walk out

Without question without doubt

In the light that we have found

It is finally clear

Our day has come

And we'll stand for who we are

We are ready we are young

We have nothing to fear

We never carried days on our own

But now it's up to us to know

The weight of being so much more

We will find ourselves on the road

On we march

With a midnight song

We will light our way

With our lanterns on

On we march

Till we meet the dawn

We will light our way

With our lanterns on

We held the light

To our faces

And realised

We were chasing

Shadows behind

Not worth saving

So burn it bright

Forever illuminating

On we march

With a midnight song

We will light our way

With our lanterns on

On we march

Till we meet the dawn

We will light our way

With our lanterns on

In darkness I leave

For a place I've never seen

It's been calling out to me

That is where I should be
