Flow

Well come and well met, my brave little spark How long you've wandered, burned bright as a star Oh, I have awaited you patiently all this time Past every fate Now sing with me once more, share of your life Far greater than memory, its loss and love, words cannot 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 a soul rising surface-ways With your unbeating heart, wish them well Deep, dark, far away, I have heard your voice, weighed your every choice Now our hands join 'round the meaning you sought I'll catch your tears, quench your fears with joy 'til you're near the shore Where, in time, all shall as hope be reborn, ah Hush, love, close your eyes, and in sleep abide As sun's distant light echoes down to dreams below Know you will wake, on winds, rise again For this journey's end is but one step forward to tomorrow
