Lantern and Line

The dusty road goes on for miles

Beneath a fading sky

I pack my doubts and yesterday And watch the daylight die

The shadows stretch across the road The wind begins to blow

But I can see the borderline Where I am meant to go

The horizon is calling my name out loud A line drawn in

gold far away from the crowd I’m dropping a pebble to mark

where I’ve been And lifting my lantern to find it again Through

the dark and the distance I’m moving along

With a light in my hand and a heart like a song (ooh-ooh-ooh)

The ground is rough beneath my feet

The heavy air is cold

I hold a stone inside my palm

A memory

to hold

It’s small and smooth and shaped by time A piece of where

I started

A little weight to keep me brave And keep me steady-hearted

The horizon is calling my name out loud

A line drawn in gold far away from the crowd

I’m dropping a pebble to mark where I’ve been

And lifting my lantern to find it again

Through the dark and the distance I’m moving along

With a light in my hand and a heart like a song

The glass may shake,

the oil may burn The road ahead is long

But every step’s a lesson learned And every spark is strong I

drop the stone, I clear my mind

I leave the past a mile behind

The horizon is calling my name out loud

A line drawn in gold far away from the crowd

I’m dropping a pebble to mark where I’ve been

And lifting my lantern to find it again

Through the dark and the distance I’m moving along

With a light in my hand and a heart like a song

Just a light in my hand

And a line in the sand

The horizon ahead

Where I'm meant to stand

Lifting my lantern

Dropping my pebble

Into the night
