Birds of Tokyo - Lanterns (Official video)



This is another song we are learning with the newly formed Open Door (Not for Profit ) Singers Diamond Valley choir.

Lately I've found
When I start to think aloud
There's a longing in the sound
There is more I could be
In darkness I leave
For a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me
That is where I should be

We never carried days on our own
But now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more
We will find ourselves on the road

On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on

As we walk out
Without question without doubt
In the light that we have found
It is finally clear
Our day has come
And we'll stand for who we are
We are ready we are young
We have nothing to fear

We never carried days on our own
But now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more
We will find ourselves on the road

On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on

We held the light
To our faces
And realised
We were chasing
Shadows behind
Not worth saving
So burn it bright
Forever illuminating

On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
In darkness I leave
For a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me
That is where I should be

Hi Lindsay,
I watched the video a couple of days ago - right before I rushed out the door to do something or other (it's that time of the year). It's a very nice song and, like a more famous one, Here Comes the Sun, has a message of hope
All the best,
Susan

Thanks Susan
The choir arrangement with parts makes it much more interesting and as you say it's lyrics express a message of hope. Best wishes
