Deliver me from the darkness
Out of the mist that lingers beyond.
Be gentle and patient
For I am a Chosen one
Here to learn and grow, experience and expand
Seeking wisdom and the gift of knowing
Peace and harmony, ebb and flowing
Here on the Earth, a School of learning
Of mystery, forever evolving
Life and death until the end of the line
When at last I Become . . . I reach the sublime.
Take my hand and show me the way.
Lead me and guide me forever, I pray.
Open the door to knowledge and truth
To mystery and insight, miracles and more
For I am a learner seeking to grow
To Become and to Be . . . til at last I am Home.
