Eyes Up
"lantern light" challenge
Eyes up, little one, don’t tremble.
There is darkness all around you.
Eyes up, little one, don’t tremble.
Heed not the whispers that surround you.
Eyes up little one, don’t tremble.
I am coming, I am here.
Let the light fall on your teary face,
Now there’s nothing left to fear.
My love for you’s a lantern,
Let it light your trembling way.
My love for you’s a lantern,
I will find you in the fray.
Eyes up, and find your lighthouse
Amidst the tossing waves,
Eyes up, and find your lighthouse,
This ocean’s not your grave.
Eyes up, my love, and find me,
When you can’t take any more.
Eyes up my love, and find me,
I’m reaching from the shore.
Seek and find my light, my love,
I’m searching in the night,
Seek and find my light, my love,
I’ll fight the things that bring you fright.
I’ll bring a lantern to your darkness,
And I’ll never ever rest,
I’ll bring a lantern to your darkness,
And bring us out of every test.
Eyes up, little one, and see that
Your darkness thinks it’s won.
Eyes up, little one, and see that
We’re coming to the dawn.
