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, its 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 tide sweep in and bear you down
Should you meet a soul rising surface-ways
With your unbeating heart, wish them well
Deep dark far away I have heard your voice, weighed your every choice
Now, our hands join round the meaning you sought
I'll catch your tears, quench your fears with joy till your near the shore
Where in time, all shall as hope be reborn, ah
Hush love, close your eyes, and in sleep abide
As Sun's distant light, echoes down to dreams, below
Know you will wake, on winds rise again
For this journey’s end is but one step forward to tomorrow
