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
