(Opening Verse)
I lit a lantern in the dark tonight,
A fragile flame in the quiet light.
It flickers softly, but it doesn’t fade,
A little hope for the mess I’ve made.

(Verse 1)
The road behind me is a shadowed trail,
With footsteps blurred and whispers frail.
I carry this glow like a secret I keep,
Guiding my way through the places too deep.

(Hook)
Lantern glow, lead me home,
Through the wilds where I’ve roamed.
Soft and steady, don’t let me fall,
Be the light when I’ve lost it all.

(Verse 2)
I’ve seen the stars fall into the sea,
Watched dreams dissolve like autumn leaves.
But this little flame, it warms my hands,
A quiet comfort in shifting sands.

(Bridge)
The wind may howl, the night may rise,
But this lantern reflects the fire in my eyes.
Each step forward feels less like a fight,
When I’m chasing the glow in the heart of the night.

(Hook)
Lantern glow, lead me home,
Through the wilds where I’ve roamed.
Soft and steady, don’t let me fall,
Be the light when I’ve lost it all.

(Closing Verse)
I’ll keep it burning through the darkest skies,
A tiny spark that never dies.
This lantern glow, it’s mine to hold,
A light for the journey, a flame for the soul.
