Lyric 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
