"I know the way to heaven. It is not far away.
When you take my hand in yours, heaven exists inside of me."

This piece was composed in mind for a story I brewed. This composition is the story of a boy who lives in a limbo place, and it is his goal to guide departed spirits to Heaven. "Boy and His Lantern" is the musical tale of what happens when he is issued the task of guiding a young girl, about his age, to Heaven. He eventually falls in love with the young girl through all of their laborious adventures together, in attempt to help her get to Heaven. Trials, sacrifices, and danger ensue when the evil one, who is responsible for taking souls to hell, attempts  to capture her. In the end of the song, one can almost envision the girl being pulled away into Heaven. She looks back to see his figure shrinking away, and he is singing tearfully to his love. The words are:
"I know the way to heaven. It is not far away.
When you take my hand in yours, heaven exists inside of me."
