Give me for my lantern Give me for my lantern give me light Be the of my lantern, the light of my lantern, be the light I the light in my lantern, light in my lantern tonight
It's a hungry out there Even the wind take a bite I can feel the circling Sniffing round me in the And the lost grow teeth Forsake the lambs and lie with the
Where the living is Precarious and And getting by is so That even the are picked clean And the of small contention Are the only the hungry find
Where the thistles eat the And the roses no chance And it no wonder the babies Come out crying in And the children for shelter In the hollow of some lonesome
And the sky's so cold and The stars might stick you And you're only glad its dark You might see the hand And you might cast forever And find the peace that you seek
For cry in the night says, "Have faith!" "Be content inside questions" "Minotaurs a maze" Tell me what's the point of When you to strike a match to find?
So throw away lamentations We both know them all too If a book of jubilations have to write it for ourselves So come and lie beside me And let's write it while we got time
So if you got a light, it high for me I it bad tonight, hold it high for me Cause I'm face to face, hold it for me In lonesome place, hold it high for me With all the hurt that I've done, it high for me can't be undone, hold it high for me Light and me through, hold it high for me And do the same for you, hold it high for me
I'll hold it high for you, cause I you've got I'll hold it high for you, your own valley to I'll hold it for you, though it's dark as death I'll hold it for you, and then gets darker yet I'll hold it for you, though your path is blocked I'll hold it for you, through the thieves and rocks I'll hold it high for you, keep you safe from I'll hold it high for you, until you're in my arms
