Light

Shine



Light, how you find

the stars in the darkest sky

a moment's reflection

upon a new sunrise.

How you find the seed

under the coldest ground

and remain to shine

long after it's fruits are found.



Light, how you find hope

beyond the darkest hour

worlds beckon sweeter

after chapters sour.

How you find a tear

inside the coldest heart

and remain to shine

long after our days depart.





Bearers of Light



Bearers of light

safe-keeping the flame

stretching heart and

conscience forever wide.

Dawns to brightest days

where new horizons unfold

one promise prevails

turning the darkest of tides.



Bearers of light

safe-keeping the flame

to beckon dignity for all

a procession one the same.



Behold your courage

come nations alike

many a voice finding song

from China's every shame.

Through clouded skies

until worlds awakened

bearers of light

safe-keeping the flame.
