Lanterns

Dust to dust

And mouth to brain

I lie myself down in the grain and

Wait to be a phoenix or a firefly

And ash to ash the buildings fall

Replaced one unyielding wall

And overtures to everlasting peace

Please don’t wake me when I’m sleeping

I’m making sense of it all

And if you let it does it scare you

That we have nothing at all

You can’t light the lanterns

You need a fire a fire a fire

You can’t light the lanterns

Without a fire a fire a fire

You can’t move a mountain

But hooray hooray for the darkest days

‘Cos from the dust you’ll rise again

Coast to coast of endless caves

Your heart was almost drowned by waves

And left there inaccessible by land

But hooray hooray the darkest days

For your young heart will beat again

And all those broken promises

Will heal

Come on tell me does it scare you

That its so easy to fall

But if you settle for the safe ride

Do you feel nothing at all?
