[Intro]
[soft voices, distant hand percussion]

ta ka di mi ta ka di mi

The road was long. My breath made smoke.
Then I saw the lights.

[Verse 1]
High above the valley stone,
where mountain shadows touch the sky,
I followed music through the dark
and found a village still awake.
Lanterns hanging from old beams,
windows spilling light into the night.
Children laughing through the streets,
chasing sparks of firelight.

ta ka di mi ta ka di mi

Every doorway held a song.

[Pre-Chorus]
I came looking for silence.
But the rhythm found me first.

[Chorus]
Lanterns on the wind, floating through the blue.

ta ka di mi, I forget my name.

Hands above the crowd, voices rising high.
For one night I was nobody and everywhere.

[Verse 2]
An old woman struck a drum,
slow at first, then faster still.
A circle formed around the square,
boots and bare feet on the stone.
Someone smiled and pulled my hand.
Someone sang a melody.
I did not know the words at all.
Still...
I sang.
ta ka di mi ta ka di mi
The whole hill sang with one throat.

[Pre-Chorus]
No destination. No direction.
Just hands and sound and motion.

[Chorus]
Lanterns on the wind, floating through the blue.
ta ka di mi, I forget my name.
Hands above the crowd, voices rising high.
For one night I was nobody and everywhere.

[Bridge]
[layered vocals, rhythmic energy]

ta ka di mi ta ka ta ri ki ta

The baker left his oven. The shepherd left the hill.
The drummer played till morning. The dancers never stood still.
ta ka di mi ta ka di mi
And for a little while, nobody counted time.

[Final Chorus]
Lanterns on the wind, glowing through the night.
ta ka di mi, something like a home.
Far below the clouds, far above the plain.
I arrived a stranger.
I left with a song I couldn't name.

[Outro]
[soft choir, fading percussion]

ta ka di mi
ta ka di mi

The lights grew small behind me.
The rhythm stayed.
