To the ancestors who have gone before
upon the rock of their wisdom we build our lives
To our families and friends, whose love sustains us in these troubled times
To the children with whose futures we kindle this flame
And to the one, the all in all, the beginning and the end of all things
Amen and ashay

Shine will you shine
Shine will you shine
By this starlight wandering
I have roamed far from home
Riding out this stormy sea
all around me.
Hope has found me
Here my soul for wonder weeps
at shadows on the stars
Now the birds have taken wing
summer's flown seeds are sown
Now this faith in crowns and kings
fails to flower.
Come darkest hours
Still the moon so brightly sings
Of shadows on the stars
In the heart of Winter deep
Saints will pray, vigils keep
Pointing to a mystery
Seasons turning
we are learning
In her arms a child sleeps
Dreams shadows on the stars.

Though I cross the world in my travels
Secrets and wonders that I see
Still inside my heart is a yearning
Deep is the place for family
All my fame and all of my fortune
Everything that I've achieved
I will bring it here to the hearthstone
All of it gift for family
Chorus:
We are carrying the day
Shining on each other's way
Gallantly we stand
This home and family
Sons and fathers, mothers and daughters
Each in the other's eyes will see
Visions of the road we will travel
Leaves on the tree of family
Hand to hand throughout generations
Tenderly passing on our dreams
Whispered in the ears of the babies
These are the songs our children sing.
Chorus:
They are carrying the day
Shining on each other's way
keeping hope in hand
for home and family
When the world has cast me to bottom
dashed on the rocks, and lost at sea
When my life is stretched to the breaking
will remember family
Little babe I hold in my arms now
Thanks for the wondrous gifts you bring
Listen I will tell you the story
Tell you about this family
Chorus
We are carrying the day
Shining on each other's way
Gallantly we stand
This home and family
We are carrying the day
going forth to pave the way
Keeping hope in hand
for home and family

Another Time

I would have held you to me another time
If I had known there would not be another time
I would buy today to bring back yesterday
Before it slipped away.
If we could walk hand in hand another time
And never come upon this land of left behind
Not this day that innocence departed, no warning.
Not this place where all the broken-hearted are carried away
To see the smile on your face another time
I would create another place another time
I would cry for peace
I would make war to cease
if it would bring release.
To find you waiting for me another time
And to be certain I would hold your hand in mine
I would pray on every star in heaven, and weeping
I would dream myself awake from sleeping
And cherish the day.
And so tomorrow will be another time
And it is not the will of fate to change her mind
We may only have today to savor this treasure
Every hour is precious beyond measure
give it to love.
