Hermit’s Lantern

[Verse 1] Up on a mountain where the pine trees grow There's an old man walkin' through the drifts of snow He ain't got a horse and he ain't got a name Just a lantern in his hand and a little flame [Verse 2] He left behind the city and the noise and the crowd 'Cause the voice inside was gettin' drowned out loud Now he walks in the quiet where the answers keep And he finds 'em in the silence where the waters run deep [Chorus] Follow the Hermit's lantern through the dark of the night Sometimes you gotta be alone to find the light Paul Hesch'll read it for you, Mister Hesch dot com Follow the Hermit's lantern and you'll find your way home [Verse 3] When you pull the Hermit, it's a call to slow it down Turn off the television, get away from town Sit beside a river, let your thoughts run dry And listen to the whisper that's been passin' you by [Chorus] Follow the Hermit's lantern through the dark of the night Sometimes you gotta be alone to find the light Paul Hesch'll read it for you, Mister Hesch dot com Follow the Hermit's lantern and you'll find your way home [Verse 4] I've been the Hermit, I've been lost in my head Spent a whole long winter in a cabin bed But I came down the mountain with a lantern of my own And a knowin' in my spirit that I'd never known [Verse 5] So if you feel like hidin', if you feel like you're lost If the world's too loud and you're payin' the cost There ain't no shame in walkin' off a while The Hermit always comes back with a peaceful smile [Chorus] Follow the Hermit's lantern through the dark of the night Sometimes you gotta be alone to find the light Paul Hesch'll read it for you, Mister Hesch dot com Follow the Hermit's lantern and you'll find your way home
