Listen to your gut feeling.
Meaning
The Lantern appears when your gut feeling may already be pointing you in a direction.
You may not have all the facts yet, and you may not be able to explain why something feels right or wrong.
But sometimes you notice something before you fully understand it.
A feeling. A hesitation. A pull toward something. A sense that something deserves your attention.
The Lantern reminds you not to dismiss those signals simply because you cannot explain them yet.
Your gut feeling does not have to make the decision for you.
But it may be worth listening to.
Reflection
If you have drawn The Lantern, pay attention to what your gut feeling has been telling you.
Is there something you keep sensing even though you cannot quite explain why?
Have you been looking for answers everywhere else while ignoring your own reaction?
You don’t have to follow every feeling without question.
But you can listen to it, consider what may be behind it, and let it be part of how you find your way.
Sometimes your gut notices something before your mind has put the pieces together.
[Verse 1]
I’ve felt it there
for all this time
A quiet sense
that something’s mine
It doesn’t leave
it doesn’t fade
It’s in the choices
that I make
[Verse 2]
I know that voice
I’ve heard it clear
It shows up soft
but always near
Still I pause
still I wait
Like I need more
to validate
[Chorus]
I know this feeling
I know this light
It’s been with me
this whole time
I don’t need proof
I don’t need signs
I feel it once
and know it’s mine
gut feeling yeah
[Verse 3]
It’s not confused
it doesn’t bend
It doesn’t change
to try to fit
It stays the same
through every turn
A quiet truth
I always learn
[Bridge]
I knew it then
I know it now
I just forgot
to trust it somehow
[Final Chorus]
I know this feeling
I know it clear
It’s always been
right here
I take one step
I don’t rewind
I follow what
I know inside
[Outro]
It was never gone
gut feeling yeah

[Verse 1]
I looked for signs
in open skies,
in stranger’s words
and passing eyes.
But every time
I turned outside —
the silence stayed,
the stars just lied.
[Verse 2]
Then one night
I didn’t run.
I stayed until
the dark was done.
And deep beneath
the noise and fight,
I found a flicker —
barely light.
[Chorus]
It’s not a flame
the world can see,
but still it burns
inside of me.
No sudden blaze,
no blinding sight —
just one more step
by lantern light.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
It didn’t shout,
but I still knew —
a pull inside
that pulled me through.
The dark stayed close,
but couldn’t stay —
each step I took
held it at bay.
[Bridge]
I walked alone —
until I knew
the spark was quiet,
but still true.
Not loud, not bright —
but always near.
It stayed with me.
It kept me here.
[Final Chorus]
It’s not a flame
the world can see,
but still it burns
inside of me.
And through the dark,
I learn to write
the path ahead
in my own light.
[Outro]
I carry it still.
