Festival of Lanterns

[Verse] I said, “I’ll bend another way, I’m just paper after all.” No need making anchors now, No need fighting every gust. Above the town is where we’re drifting out, We’ll find the road by letting go. [Pre-Chorus] If the river turns, I’ll turn too, If the skyline moves, I’ll move through. Every change can make me new, Every breath can pull me through. [Chorus] Festival of Lanterns, I can ride whatever weather. Higher than before. Festival of Lanterns, Let it carry me instead. [Verse] It feels safe to stay the same, Little wishes tied in rows. Rising in and out of view, Something warm we send away. I want a kinder path to shine for, To make it worth the miles we live. I want a brave new turn, Change is how the colors learn. Let it carry me instead. [Pre-Chorus] If the road folds out of sight, I’ll still burn a gentle guide. Not for me alone tonight, I’m a sign for someone’s climb. [Chorus] Festival of Lanterns, I can drift through any weather. Brighter than before. Festival of Lanterns, I can rise and turn together. Let the wind decide the thread. [Bridge] Fold me once and fold me twice, I won’t tear, I’ll take the sky. Every curve becomes a sign, Every fall can teach me why. If I’m moving, I’m alive, If I’m glowing, I can guide. Send me where the breezes spread, Let it carry me instead. [Chorus] Festival of Lanterns, We can drift through any weather. Brighter than before. Festival of Lanterns, We can rise and turn together. Festival of Lanterns, Floating onward, soft but steady. Showing strangers where to tread. [Outro] Let it carry me instead. Let it carry me instead.
