Lyrics

Lanterns

[Verse 1]

Be a lantern burning

Never gonna go out

The winds are turning

Never gonna blow out

I've had a life of learning

I know people come and go

Be a lantern burning

Your fire is burning

[Verse 2]

Be my lighthouse shining

Went out on the sea

Be my silver lining

Be my golden key

I've had a life of climbing

Don't let me fall from the trees

Be my lighthouse shining

When I'm out on the sea

[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh. oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh. oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh. oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh. oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
