Alli Rogers - Carry a Light lyrics

I've left you a gift on the riverbank Go bring it to me here And when you do we'll look it through And then it will be clear That currents move and shape the sand That winds can blow you far That words aren't always hard to find But tended harbors are You may be fearless may be right But when the day gives way to night Carry a light with you Carry a light with you Into the night with you A light with you We've shared our meals by the firelight Now let the fire die Go wrap yourself in the winter moon You and the evening sky But remember that the monuments Were once in someone's hand That soldiers walk the battlefields That farmers work the land So raise yourself to your full height But when the day gives way to night You may be fearless may be right You may have fires yet to light You may have stories to tell You may have rivers to cross You may have courage to fight
