Am
Fear is dark but my love is a lantern 
C               G
Shining up like coins in a fountain
Am
hope is a tree, sitting on a mountain
C                     G
where the grass don't grow
Am
there's a sad old sea but my love is an island
C                      G
wild and free like the hills and the highlands
Am
is a breeze that brings me back to dry lands
C                  G
where the flowers grow

     F          C    G
and love, is a baby born
     F            C       G
and love, is the last unicorn
     F            C    G         
and love, is the only song I'll song

Am, C, G x 2
Am
hate is a poison, love is the remedy
C                     G
singing out like the sweetest of melodies 
Am
hope is the ghost in the deepest of memories
C                         G
stronger than ten of me, fear is the enemy 
Am   
in the dark, and its creeps like a shark 
        C                G
in the coldest sea, the deepest part 
Am                     
hope is the beat, in the oldest heart
C                G
hand in a hand, brand new start

F          C    G
love, is a fireside
F             C          G           
warm, on the coldest of nights
F            Am    G         Am       Am/B  C          
love, is the only song I'll sing, all night long

F             Am        G
love, is the truest of words
     F            Am          G
and love, is the last winter bird
     F           Am    G         C
and love, is the only song I'll sing

C    G   F
ohh I'll sing
     F               C
till I can't sing no more
C    G    F
ohh I'll sing
F       Am        G
till my throat is sore.

Sing along

Fear is dark but my love is a lantern
Shining up like coins in a fountain
Hope is a tree sitting on a mountain where the grass don’t grow
There’s a sad old sea but my love is an island
Wild and free like the hills in the highlands
Hope is a breeze that brings me back to dry land
Where the flowers grow

Love is a baby born
Love is the last unicorn
Love is the only song i’ll sing

Hate is a poison
Love is a remedy
Singing out like the sweetest of melodies
Hope is a ghost in the deepest of memories
Stronger than ten of me
Fear is the enemy
In the dark and it creeps like a shark
In the coldest sea
In the deepest part but
Hope is the beat in the oldest heart
A hand in a hand and a brand new start

Love is a fireside
Warm on the coldest of nights
Love is the only song I’ll sing
Love is the truest of words
Love is the last winter birds
Love is the only song I’ll sing

Oh I’ll sing
Til I can’t sing no more
Oh I’ll sing
Til my throat is sore
