Traveler`s Lantern Lyrics

Traveler`s Lantern

(Dwight Yoakam)

 

 If deep in the night

 You hear a voice calling

 lost and alone

 Barely able to speak

 

 With each weary step

 Through cold shadow they stumble

 Blindly along

 Frail, hopeless and weak

 

 Chorus:

 Won't you set out a traveler's lantern

 Just a small light that they might see

 To guide them back home before they wander

 Into the dark billows that crash on the sea

 

 At dawn's rise you may find

 The footprints of angels

 Brought to fellowship there

 By your mercy lamp's flame

 

 Walking beside

 The weary soul life's forgotten

 Bringing comfort and love

 And gently leading their way

 

 Chorus:

 Won't you set out a traveler's lantern

 Just a small light that they might see

 To guide them back home before they wander

 Into the dark billows that crash on the sea
