The Lantern in Your Window

The Lantern in Your Window
(A Wedding Blessing)
[Verse 1]
I've walked a many a road for years,
Through cities of gold and fields of tears.
Yet of the lights that I've been shown,
One lantern burns where love has grown.
And if you ask what truth I’ve known,
No road is meant to walk alone.
[Chorus]
Keep the lantern shining bright,
I'll be home with you each night.
Through every storm and sky above,
You're my soul, my heart, my love.
[Verse 2]
The road is long, the years pass fast,
And shadows fall from troubles past.
But hand in hand and heart by heart,
No mighty wind can tear us apart.
For every mile two souls have known
Becomes a place I can call my own.
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
The road will climb, the road will bend,
Troubles so tough I can barely mend.
Yet side by side through joy or strife,
Two wandering hearts can build a life.
And when the stars above you roam,
You’ll find the path that leads you home.
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
So when the winter winds grow cold
And silver threads replace the gold,
Look in each other’s eyes and see
The flame that burns in memory.
[Final Chorus]
Keep the lantern shining bright,
I'll be home with you each night.
Through every storm and sky above,
You're my soul, my heart, my love.
[Outro]
So light the lantern with utmost care,
Let it shine through its dome.
For where two faithful hearts abide,
The road will always lead you home.
