Atlas & The Light - Lanterns

Intro

Verse 1

The city breathes in silver lines

Streetlights stitched across the dark

A thousand windows blink awake

Like tiny fires inside their hearts

And every road I've ever known

Runs somewhere I can't yet see

But tonight the shadows feel less heavy

Than they used to be

Pre-Chorus

So hold the silence for a moment

Let the night reveal its shape

There's a map inside the distance

And it's calling us away

Chorus

We're carrying lanterns

Out into the unknown

Small lights in the darkness

Showing the way home

And even when the skyline disappears

And every answer slips away

We'll be carrying lanterns

Till the morning breaks

Verse 2

The river mirrors passing stars

Turning slowly with the tide

Nothing stays exactly where you left it

Nothing stands completely still in time

And all the dreams we thought we'd lost

Are drifting back through open skies

Like old friends returning unexpectedly

In a different light

Pre-Chorus

So hold the silence for a moment

Let the night reveal its shape

There's a map inside the distance

And it's calling us away

Chorus

We're carrying lanterns

Out into the unknown

Small lights in the darkness

Showing the way home

And even when the skyline disappears

And every answer slips away

We'll be carrying lanterns

Till the morning breaks

Instrumental

Carry the light

Carry the light

Carry the light

Into the night

Carry the light

Carry the light

Carry the light

Into the night

Chorus

We're carrying lanterns

Out into the unknown

Small lights in the darkness

Showing the way home

And even when the skyline disappears

And every answer slips away

We'll be carrying lanterns

Till the morning breaks

Outro

Carry the light

Carry the light

Carry the light

Into the night

Carry the light

Carry the light

Carry the light

Into the night
