(Dwight Yoakam)
If deep in the night
You hear a voice calling
lost and alone
Barely able to speak
With each weary step
Through cold shadow they stumble
Blindly along
Frail, hopeless and weak
Chorus:
Won`t you set out a traveler`s lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home before they wander
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea
At dawn`s rise you may find
The footprints of angels
Brought to fellowship there
By your mercy lamp`s flame
Walking beside
The weary soul life`s forgotten
Bringing comfort and love
And gently leading their way
Chorus:
Won`t you set out a traveler`s lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home before they wander
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea
