Close your eyes to all you've been- forget all that you know,
Free your mind from darkness and let hope begin to grow.
Place your hand within mine- let our energies combine,
Feel the world retreating and the pain within resign.
Follow me through shadows- find the light that we all seek,
Keep me in your thoughts and hear the soothing words I speak.
Wake up to the morning- greet the dawn of this new day,
See the world in colour not that sad and lonely gray.
Breathe in the scent of freedom- clear the worry from your mind,
Walk tall amongst your kinsfolk and enjoy the peace you find.
Share your life with others- help them conquer all their fear,
Protect all those around you and forever hold love near.
Live each day within the light- don't let the darkness in,
Lead by your example and absolve yourself from sin.
Change the world around you- only you can claim this power,
Rest when all the work is done and dwell not on the hour.
Take comfort when the end is near- you will not be alone,
Remember I am with you and have shared in all you've known.

Close your eyes to all you've been- forget all that you know,
Free your mind from darkness and let hope begin to grow.
Place your hand within mine- let our energies combine,
Feel the world retreating and the pain within resign.
Follow me through shadows- find the light that we all seek,
Keep me in your thoughts and hear the soothing words I speak.
Wake up to the morning- greet the dawn of this new day,
See the world in colour not that sad and lonely gray.
Breathe in the scent of freedom- clear the worry from your mind,
Walk tall amongst your kinsfolk and enjoy the peace you find.
Share your life with others- help them conquer all their fear,
Protect all those around you and forever hold love near.
Live each day within the light- don't let the darkness in,
Lead by your example and absolve yourself from sin.
Change the world around you- only you can claim this power,
Rest when all the work is done and dwell not on the hour.
Take comfort when the end is near- you will not be alone,
Remember I am with you and have shared in all you've known.
