Term 1 Song Lyrics

Below are the lyrics for our Term 1 songs:

Lanterns

Verse 1

Lately I’ve found, when I start to think aloud,

There’s a longing in the sound, there is more I could be.

In darkness I leave, for a place I’ve never seen.
It’s been calling out to me, that is where I should be.

Pre-Chorus

We never carried days on our own.

But now it’s up to us to know.

The weight of being so much more,

We will find ourselves on the road.

Chorus

On we march, with a midnight song,

We will light our way, with our lanterns on.

On we march, till we meet the dawn

We will light our way, with our lanterns on.

Verse 2

As we walk out, without question without doubt,

In the light that we have found, it is finally clear.

Our day has come, and we’ll stand for who we are,

We are ready we are young, we have nothing to fear.

Pre-Chorus

We never carried days on our own.

But now it’s up to us to know.

The weight of being so much more,

We will find ourselves on the road.

Chorus

On we march, with a midnight song,

We will light our way, with our lanterns on.

On we march, till we meet the dawn

We will light our way, with our lanterns on.

Chorus

On we march, with a midnight song,

We will light our way, with our lanterns on.

On we march, till we meet the dawn

We will light our way, with our lanterns on.

Coda

With our lanterns on. With our lanterns on.

Snowgum

Verse 1

A white veil spreads around me, as far as I can see.

It’s pure and soft and clean and bright, but cold as cold can be.

And carefully woven webs of ice hang sparkling from my leaves,

And snow rests on my branches, like long white velvet sleeves.

Chorus

I am a lonely snowgum,

I hope each dawn will bring,

The warming rays of sunlight,

That mean the start of spring.

Verse 2

The creek lies frozen at my feet, the rocks are iced like cakes,

And from the blue sky high above fall feather light snowflakes.

I twist myself up to the sun throughout these icy days,

I stretch my fingers to her to catch the warming rays.

Chorus

I am a lonely snowgum,

I hope each dawn will bring,

The warming rays of sunlight,

That mean the start of spring.
