lanterns on the lake

We write our wishes and our fears Colored paper stained with tears Some with names we can't say face to face Loved ones in another place Music floats through the air Songs of joy and sadness We're all in this together To get us through the madness Children's drawings of their friends Without worries in their hearts Seen through a blurry lens A thousand floating works of art Music floats through the air Songs of joy and sadness We're all in this together To get us through the madness So we smile at each other We remember we're all one Not so different after all Hearts no longer numb Music floats through the air Songs of joy and sadness We're all in this together To get us through the madness Music floats through the air Songs of joy and sadness We're all in this together To get us through the madness
