Lantern Lyrics

You can become all the good things you believe
You can live life as love just as long as you are free
You'll be happy I know, it's a lantern you have seen
I know

Now that you know all your love that you can be
You can live life as love just as long as you are free
You'll be happy, you'll know, there's a lantern you can see
I know

I have become all the good things I believe
I've been spreading my love just as long as I'm free
I'm happy, I know, there's a lantern I can see
I know
I know
I know

I think there are no comments because the song is a very clear and simple expression, like the image/symbol of the lantern. The narrator tells us to let the lantern illuminated our lives like it did his. The narrator expresses freedom and love as reciprocal conditions. The lyrics have a timeless, proverbial feel, like some ancient wisdom, almost like a little mantra or prayer A great song to start your day with!
