Alli Rogers - Carry A Light lyrics

rate me

I've left you a gift on the riverbank

Go bring it to me here

And when you do we'll look it through

And then it will be clear

That currents move and shape the sand

That winds can blow you far

That words aren't always hard to find

But tended harbors are

You may be fearless may be right

But when the day gives way to night

Carry a light with you

Carry a light with you

Into the night with you

A light with you

We've shared our meals by the firelight

Now let the fire die

Go wrap yourself in the winter moon

You and the evening sky

But remember that the monuments

Were once in someone's hand

That soldiers walk the battlefields

That farmers work the land

So raise yourself to your full height

But when the day gives way to night

You may be fearless may be right

You may have fires yet to light

You may have stories to tell

You may have rivers to cross

You may have courage to fight
