Lantern

[intro] [somber guitar instrumental intro] [Verse 1] In the shifting sands of who I am, You stayed beside, you held my hand. When the seasons turned, and I lost my way, You were my rock, my steady place. [Pre-Chorus] I know I’ve been a winding road, Yet you stayed with me as I’ve grown. [Chorus] ‘Cause you love me, even if I'm chaos. A love so steady, so pure, it never cost. While the tides pulled hard, you held on tight. You’re my lantern in the night. You heard my laugh when my tears were falling, Answered my silence, kept me from stalling. Every moment, your love shines through, I’ve found my strength because of you. (Oh-oh, because of you) (oh-oh, always true!) [Verse 2] When my doubts were loud and the noise was strong, You hummed the tune, kept my soul in song. When the world seemed cold, you brought me fire, Your love, my warmth, my one desire. [Pre-Chorus] I know I’ve been a road unpaved, But your faith in me always stayed. [Chorus] ‘Cause you love me, even if I'm chaos, A love so steady, so pure, it never cost. While the tides pulled hard, you held on tight, You’re my lantern in the night. You heard my laugh when my tears were falling, Answered my silence, kept me from stalling. Every moment, your love shines through, I’ve found my strength because of you. (Oh-oh, because of you, oh-oh, always true!) [Instrumental] [Bridge] How do I thank the one who knows my soul? Through every chapter, you’ve made me whole. I’ll spend my days giving this love back, To match the grace I’ve never lacked. [Chorus] ‘Cause you love me, even if I'm chaos, A love so steady, so pure, it never cost. While the tides pulled hard, you held on tight, You’re my lantern in the night. You heard my laugh when my tears were falling, Answered my silence, kept me from stalling. Every moment, your love shines through, I’ve found my strength because of you. (Oh-oh, because of you, oh-oh, always true!) [instrumental then end]
