The Lantern Festival Glows

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] The crowd flows along the rosy firelight Each hand lifts a small glowing orb [Verse 1] A child tugs mom's hand, pointing A carp lantern swimming in the wind The calligrapher writes words on a fan Ink smelling of olden days [Pre-Chorus] Releasing a wish up to the high sky Following the candle glow, floating [Chorus] The lantern festival glows The whole sky blazes with hope The lantern festival glows Thousands of flames string into a silver band [Verse 2] A couple holds hands by the bridge Double shadows on the bright water The festival drum echoes, fading far Yet hearts still flutter [Chorus] The lantern festival glows The whole sky blazes with hope The lantern festival glows Thousands of ripples string into a silver band [Bridge] A year passed, so much has flowed by Tonight we set all that aside Just keep the light in our eyes [Chorus] The lantern festival glows The whole sky blazes with hope The lantern festival glows Thousands of ripples string into a silver band [Outro] The last lantern slips behind the hall's roof Yet the heart still sparkles [Fade Out] [End]
