Well come and well met, my brave little spark
How long you've wandered, burned bright as a star
Oh, I have long awaited you patiently all this time
Past every fate, now sing with me once more
Share of your life
Far greater than memory
These 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
'Til 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 join 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
?
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
