You Are My Lantern
My son I know you're scared but please you have to know I care
Stay close here under my wing I'll protect you from the air
Cause you, yes you are my lantern
No sign of any smoke curling from the stacks upon the mills
Every step we take test every fibre of my will
But you, yes you are my lantern
There's no food left for fishes here and even less for man
All the world is black and scorched beneath some higher power's hand
But you, yes you are my lantern
I would love to give you everything you'll never know
Like a single tin of peaches or to look upon a rose
Cause you, yes you are my lantern
I know that the sun is gone and I know you'll miss the light
I've been saving two last rounds for the darkest of dark nights
I would give what life I've left if it meant that you could live
For just one minute in a world where there was life enough to live
Cause you, yes you are my lantern
You, yes you are my lantern
You, yes you are my lantern
Stay close here under my wing I'll protect you from the air
Cause you, yes you are my lantern
No sign of any smoke curling from the stacks upon the mills
Every step we take test every fibre of my will
But you, yes you are my lantern
There's no food left for fishes here and even less for man
All the world is black and scorched beneath some higher power's hand
But you, yes you are my lantern
I would love to give you everything you'll never know
Like a single tin of peaches or to look upon a rose
Cause you, yes you are my lantern
I know that the sun is gone and I know you'll miss the light
I've been saving two last rounds for the darkest of dark nights
I would give what life I've left if it meant that you could live
For just one minute in a world where there was life enough to live
Cause you, yes you are my lantern
You, yes you are my lantern
You, yes you are my lantern
