You are the light you seek. That light you look to for guidance is actually YOU.

Guide me little lantern
help me find my way,
I know that things are over
it's the start of a new day.

Guide me little lantern
although you may be small,
Your words have meant so much to me
whilst walking through it all.

Guide me little lantern
you always seem to know,
The path I should be taking
and just how far to go.

Guide me little lantern
your light is always bright,
I can always see you glowing
through daytime and at night.

Some people call you angel
Some people call you guide
Some prefer to call you god
or spirit from the other side

But I don't believe you're separate
that you're not a part of me
that lantern burning bright again
is the light inside of me.
