Lantern in the snow,
A weary sight to behold
One by one these footprints sink
And fade within the lantern's glow
I'll navigate my way
Through the trees that all look the same
Whispers of a hungry ghost
Please leave this dying flame alone
Lost from afar, can the stars still see me
Falling slowly apart?
Little red wisp, please help me light up
A trail to clear with your spark
OooOh, OoOoOh
The snow may be cold but I'll find a way home
OoOoh, OooOoh
My heart may be heavy but it will still beat in the dark
I've walked ten million miles
Through mountains, woods, and cavern holes
In search for nothing but a single clue
Of how much my heart can possibly hold
Oh we've come such a long way
But we've many more nights left to go
So I'll keep you alive if you keep me warm
And we'll soldier on in this winter storm
Lost from afar, can the stars still see me
Falling slowly apart?
Little red wisp, please help me light up
A trail to clear with your spark
Oooooh, oOoOOoh
The snow may be cold but I'll find a way home
OooOOh, ooooOh
My heart may be heavy but it will still beat in the dark
Lantern in the snow,
Take me somewhere with your warmth
Though I see nothing but emptiness,
I understand that in silence I'll grow stronger,
Just a bit longer
Until I'll clear through this mist
Though I must travel alone,
I know hope shines upon me midst moonlight and snow
You and I, we both
Need each other to glow
So burn what's left of my dying wish
And send me through this lonesome world
