Hey traveler, keep your lantern burning through the night The mountain's tall, but your heart is made of steady light The valley's deep, and the rivers run with ancient pride But there's a fire, burning deep and wild inside Oh, and if the stars begin to fade I'll be the shadow in the glade To guide you home, to guide you home Golden dust, falling on the road we trust Hey mother, can you feel the spirit in the breeze? The harvest's gold, waving through the willow trees Though we wander, far away from where we've grown Our weary bones, will find a path back to the known What if the world turns cold and gray? I'll find a song to light the way I'll shout your name across the sea Until you're standing next to me Hey traveler, we're almost home
