Welcome and well met, my brave little spark
How long you've wandered, burned bright as a star
Oh I have awaited you patiently all this time
Past every fate, now sing with me once more
Share of your life far greater than memory
It's loss and love words can not hold
Boundless, the tale overflows
And carries your light out to sea
Remember the rain
Near and far beloved
Each drop a blessing from heavens above
And how as time flowed on those waters became one
Streams rivers and lakes reaching for the horizon
And far beyond
They carry onward however changed with each brief reflection
By setting Sun, by storm's wake
Till welcomed home to gentle sea
Sinking deeper and deeper in calm embrace
Loving tides sweep in and bear you down
Should you meet us arising, surface thus
With your unbeating heart, wish them well
Deep dark far away
I have heard your voice
With your every choice
Now, our hands joined round the meaning you sought
I'll catch your tears
Quench your fears with joy
To your devotion
Where in time all shall as hope be reborn all
Hush love close your eyes
Let them sleep all blind in such a strange light
It calls to undo dreams, thee and all
Though you will weep, the winds rise again, for this journey's end
Is but one step forward to tomorrow
