A recorded reading of “Paper Lantern Sky”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
The paper lanterns light the night, Flickering flames, they take to flight. A wish, a prayer, a fleeting call, We let them rise, then watch them fall. Beneath the sky, a quiet glow, We speak in whispers, words we know. The lanterns drift, they mark the way, Through darkened skies, they guide the day. Paper lanterns in the air, Floating dreams we hope to share. Through the dark, they lead the way, Guiding hearts till break of day. The wind it whispers, carries hope, A fragile string, we grasp the rope. Each dream a spark, it burns, it fades, But still we send it through the haze. Paper lanterns in the air, Floating dreams we hope to share. Through the dark, they lead the way, Guiding hearts till break of day. Some will fall and never rise, Lost to stars in endless skies. But even in their fleeting flight, They cast a glow against the night. Paper lanterns in the air, Floating dreams we hope to share. Through the dark, they lead the way, Guiding hearts till break of day. The paper lanterns light the night, Flickering flames, they take to flight.
