Lanterns Upon The Water lyrics

Like the lanterns upon the water

So go the prayers of hopeful

That they would venture toward

The deities of heaven's bounds

To be a better person is to be still

Far beyond yourself, beyond faults

It is then that daily concerns fall

So then the lantern's light is hope

On the infinite currents aspiring

Flow the constant prayers onward

Some finding eddies, unanswered

Others reach their ultimate goals

Reflections sometimes stirring

Blending, bending, never ending

A voyage ventured is long learning

The twinkling light undiscerning

Like the lanterns upon the water

So go the prayers of hopeful

That they would venture onward

To the deities of heaven's bounds
