Orange Lantern
A night to be remembered
Walking down the streets
Children running around
Festive smiles for everyone
A woman with walking grace
As gentle as nature
As smooth as silks
She knows how to make an entrance
Oh, believe me
Everyone else was put into a trance
Holding on to an orange lantern
The fires light up hopes
And an earnest wish
The lantern flies away
Together with her heart
Orange lanterns light up the night
Fills the darkness with happiness
A night that holds so much felicity
Wash away the emptiness and longing
Even just for a night
Her heart was jubilant
