From the recording Above Ground (Download)
On a sleepless night as a child long ago
Naive and scared of a world unknown
With innocence I ask what to do
Then to my wonder an answer came through
Whispering
(Chorus)
Be the light
Be the light
Feel the light that shines from above
Know the answer you seek
Is love
Well, time moved on and I lost my way
Made bad decisions and selfish mistakes
Hurt those I loved, I strayed the path of good
Yet all the while those words still stood
Waiting
(Chorus)
Now as a mother for wisdom I pray
To teach my children and show them the way
Learn to forgive, live the Golden Rule
Three ancient words ring simple and true
I sing
(Chorus)
And when we learn we’re all but one
Then we will grow in grace and love
