Walk through life
On sands
On shores
Following the lamplight
A thousand lamps held by others
Their hope
Their faith
Their love
Following others’ shining lights
Never looking up at your own
And one lamp above shining down on you
Lighting the path
Follow the lamplight
A path of experiences
Memories
Moments
The path is not straight
It curves
Through hills and valleys
Up and down
Always following the lamplight
The light of the word around you
Sunrise
Blooms
Deep, shining waves
Even when the sky isn’t shining bright
Always follow the lamplight
When the path is all finished
Our strength has run out
We’ll finally stop to look back
A glittering path
In every moment
A glowing lamplight
