Their unique sound captivated the crowd, and the positive reception led to a realization that they had something special to share with the world. Hence, Sparse Toy was born.

Their journey wasn’t always smooth sailing, but the band members, Gavin (lead vocals), Zoe (drummer), Liam (bassist), and Amelia (keyboardist and backup vocals), always believed in their potential.

Title:
“Paper Lanterns”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] In the evening glow, beneath the [D] city lights,
[Em] Paper lanterns sway, stealing [C] the night.
[G] We lost ourselves in the [D] carnival of dreams,
[Em] Chasing shadows and [C] silent screams.

(Chorus)
[G] Oh, watch the paper lanterns [D] fly,
[Em] Carrying our dreams to the [C] midnight sky.
[G] Woven with our hopes and [D] fears,
[Em] Illuminated by our [C] silent tears.

(Verse 2)
[G] With the morning sun, [D] we bid goodbye,
[Em] To the paper lanterns in the [C] morning sky.
[G] Though they’ve flown away, [D] left us behind,
[Em] In our hearts, they’ll always [C] shine.

(Chorus)
[G] Oh, watch the paper lanterns [D] fly,
[Em] Carrying our dreams to the [C] midnight sky.
[G] Woven with our hopes and [D] fears,
[Em] Illuminated by our [C] silent tears.

(Bridge)
[Am] The lanterns may fade, [D] their light may die,
[Em] But our dreams will continue [C] to fly.
[G] In our hearts, in our souls, [D] they’ll burn bright,
[Em] Like paper lanterns in the [C] night.

(Chorus)
[G] Oh, watch the paper lanterns [D] fly,
[Em] Carrying our dreams to the [C] midnight sky.
[G] Woven with our hopes and [D] fears,
[Em] Illuminated by our [C] silent tears.
