Rivers prayers

Lyrics

Chant Verse 1 Lantern of fire, lantern of light, Drift through the river, into the night. Carry my sorrow, carry my plea, Sail to the edge of eternity. Chorus (Chant) Float, lantern, float… Down the river’s vein… Hear me, O gods, Answer my pain. Float, lantern, float… To the world’s last shore, Take my prayer, Forevermore. Chant Verse 2 Water is endless, sky is so wide, Stars are the watchers, silent they guide. If flame still flickers when night is gone, Let the gods know my prayer lives on. Chorus (Chant) Float, lantern, float… Down the river’s vein… Hear me, O gods, Answer my pain. Float, lantern, float… To the world’s last shore, Take my prayer, Forevermore. Bridge (Call & Response Style) Voice in the water — carry me home, Light in the darkness — never alone. River of silence — take what I give, Prayer to the heavens — let my hope live. Final Chorus (Slow, Echoing) Float, lantern, float… Down the river’s vein… Hear me, O gods, Answer my pain. Float, lantern, float… To the world’s last shore… Take my soul, Forevermore. ⸻
