In the deep blue ocean of night.
Drift upon the surface.
Do not sink.
Be the Light!
For the universe is vast and dark,
And primarily the same.
So be the rare…
Light a spark!
Be the sun which radiates bright,
And lights the way through time.
Choose goodness.
Do what’s right.
Be the Light.
Be the Light!

Let your hopes be my hopes.
Let your ways be my ways.
Let your path be my path.
May I walk with you always.
Let your Light be my Light.
Let your rays be my rays.
Let your will be my will.
May I walk with you always.
Let your joys be my joys.
Let your days be my days.
Let your heart be my heart.
May I walk with you always.

Knock me down…I’ll be stronger still.
You can’t stop an idea,
Or the human will,
To stand against tyranny,
And to do what is right.
I stand for the truth,
And rise to the fight.
Push me back…I’ll stand and return.
No, you can not stop me.
It is my concern!
For wherever evil dwells,
I’ll shed new light onto.
You can not stop light,
Even in the darkest night,
It shines right on through.

I recognize my suffering now,
As never I have before.
I will never again allow,
My soul to close its’ door;
For I am a bright being of light,
Trapped in a world of black,
Where the brighter of a light,
The more the darkness will attack.
Yes, I am light living in darkness,
But the darkness has not prevailed!
My light has become less and less,
Though it is not yet veiled!
No, the darkness may have dimmed my light,
But it endures nonetheless.
My soul emerges new and bright,…
A sun: Radiant and boundless!
The dark, it can not hold me back,
Nor cease my eternal spark.
I light a way through the pitiless black,
For those who hear: Hark! Hark!
You are made of stars and light.
Mortal only in time and place.
Your end is not darkness and night,
Just as all stars out in space.
You will always exist and emerge,
Triumphant,…in brilliant display.
So forever let your light surge,
And to light and goodness pray.
For in the end light will always win,
And the darkness must retreat in hate;
As the universe, time, and planets spin,…
An eternity of light and love awaits.
