I’ve got the sun and the stars

To orbit around my feet


In  their shine

The  many answers that I seek


So I ask you god

Though I dare to speak


Do I fulfill the prophecy

That you wrote for me


The one that  you did  write for me?


I’ve opened my mind

Yet sometimes I still fail to see


What’s right in front of me


So


As I go forth

I still give thanks to her love

Despite the burning sands


And


Scorching heat



Throw me your toughest stones

And I’ll scrap with broken hands


But


Won’t be beat


Even if I have to crawl to the end

On my teeth


For


If I have  known a faith to crumble

Then surly I can meet a faith that stands



At her alter

Now

Just to deeper understand



Falling forward Into the trust

Of

Unknown hands

I'll walk behind you
I'll lead the way
I'll walk beside you
Everyday

When you are frightened
I'll be brave
When you get lost
I'll light the way

When you're lonely
No need to cry
For I am with you
Day and night

I'll see you through
Your every endeavor
I'm with you now
And will be forever

O’sweet babe

sister’d to her  

many forms


In each shape

she had found

a new way

to change my world


But held her love

In a shapeless void
