When you're young
The fire burns so high
But over time
You'll find it might lose height
Or even die low
But so what?
You may have lost your way
But through the trees I'll wait
You'll see a glow so faint
But never flickers
The blood that's running is thicker
I promise
I know
Wherever you brave
I'm gonna follow
Give air to the flame
When it feels hollow
When it fights through rain
And the night remains past morning
You've been climbing all your life
I know your hands hurt
You had your mind, but now it can't work
Go, just follow the light of my lantern
You've been climbing all your life
I know your hands hurt
You had your mind, but now it can't work
Go, just follow the light of my lantern
When you've grown
Your skies will quiet down
It doesn't seem it now
But I've got the same engrained and bound
Inside of my bones
And so what?
It's never just one way
But on the denser days
That make you lose your trace
You'll still find me
You've been climbing all your life
I know your hands hurt
You had your mind, but now it can't work
Go, just follow the light of my lantern
You've been climbing all your life
I know your hands hurt
You had your mind, but now it can't work
Go, just follow the light of my lantern
The embers of my presence
Are always warm
Remember there's a haven
In every storm
The embers of my presence
Are always warm
Remember there's a heaven
In every storm
I know
Wherever you brave
I'm gonna follow
Give air to the flame
When it feels hollow
When it fights through rain
And the night remains past morning
You've been climbing all your life
I know your hands hurt
You had your mind, but now it can't work
Go, just follow the light of my lantern
You've been climbing all your life
I know your hands hurt
You had your mind, but now it can't work
Go, just follow the light of my lantern
