Lighthouse

Mother, you are

A lighthouse

In the depth of the night

Your counsel directs me

I won't run aground

Sister, you are

An anchor

Waves roll around us

The stars have been shuffled

So I look to you

Sister, you are

An anchor

Rules change around us

But your steadfast committment

Keeps me looking for truth

When I am quiet

Find me in each other

Follow the wisdom

Of those who have walked here before you

When I am quiet

Find me in each other

Rest on the shoulders

Of those who are walking beside you

When I am quiet

Find me in each other

Offer your shoulder

To those who are walking beside you

See the generations

You can see it in your mother

And I am persuaded:

A sincere and warm faith

It does live in you, too
