A paper lantern glowing in the corridor

Sakura and the Lantern
Lullaby
Slow and quiet, sung softly over a small arrangement - written to be played at bedtime.
Free to keep

The story behind this song
A paper lantern glows softly in the corridor outside her room, just enough light to keep the dark friendly.
Why this moment matters
A little light left on in the hallway does more to keep a child calm at night than almost anything said out loud.
