The Nigel Purcell Trio - Lanterns in the sky (Remastered) Lyrics

We are all but
Lanterns in the sky
We were given life
And don't know why
The more we try the
Less we understand
Don't be fooled by what
The Ancients say
Just live
Day to day

There are those who
Spend most of their time
Searching for some
Meaning to their lives
Have you ever
Thought that things don't
Run as a deep as
People think
Their ink
Could be telling lies

We are all but
Lanterns in the sky
When the flame goes out
That's when we die
Lights go off
But reappear
And when they do
A part of you
Remains
Lanterns in the sky
Ooooh
