Lantern light, shining in the night,
Guide me from this cursed state.
You are not real, but the flame in my spirit.
Lead me to where I need to go,
The road with the answers to the void,
The haunted burning hunger in my soul,
The caveat that can not be filled.
Lead me to find more motivation to persevere,
Fill me with strength to find more purpose.
Anyone who has suffered loss has this lantern inside them,
Some of us give up in search of it,
Yet I summon you to shine and guide me,
To keep moving me forward, to find a way amidst the havoc,
Guide me into a way to break my routine of solitude,
Break me free of fear of unsafe streets.
Oh lantern, give me strength.
