Lantern In The Snow

Distant voices draw you on To the glow of the evensong Call you back where you belong A prayer for you, a gift for you Leave your burdens and your cares By the fire there's an empty chair And old friends are waiting there Just for you, a gift for you Tonight, dark night Without a star to guide you Sweet child, lost child come home We will watch, we will pray Love will light your way Gently like a lantern in the snow A dreamer's song whispered in your ear And you searched through the restless years For the prize that was always here Just for you, a gift for you Through the wintery veil you cried Let your memory be your guide To the peace and the warmth inside Just for you, a gift for you
