Dwight Yoakam - Traveler's Lantern lyrics

(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
