Verse 1: Drift, little lantern, on ripples of light The sky is a canvas of rose slipping night No anchor to bind you, no reason to stay You shimmer, then soften, then slowly give way Verse 2: Each wave a whisper, each breeze a release A memory carried in glowing peace You don’t rush the water, you follow its call A dance with the dusk before shadows fall Chorus (gentle refrain): Glow while you can, little flame in the sea Melt like the sun in its last reverie You were never meant to burn forever— Just long enough to say: “Remember.” Bridge (instrumental) Outro (spoken or softly sung): The light fades slowly… not in fear But in grace And in love And in peace You drift.
