"THERE'S A BEACON THAT DRAWS ME NEAR

ANY OTHER DAY I WOULD NOT HAVE NOTICED

I RARELY LOOK UP TO THE SKY,

LET A LOT OF LIFE PASS ME BY.

THIS MORN IS A GLORIOUS ONE

THE SILENT LIGHT ROLLS ON

BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT PIERCING THE CLOUDS

TAKES BACK THE NIGHT

PEACEFUL BEAMS BREAKING DOWN THE FOG

DRYING OUT THE MIST THAT HOVERS OVER ME

SPLITTING INTO THE PRISM OF COLORS AS DAY BEGINS

THE WORLD IS IN TECHNICOLOR AGAIN

A NEW DAY THAT HOLDS PROMISE

OFFERS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR ALL

TO WALK FORWARD IN GRACE

LET THE WARMTH OF THE LIGHT

SHINE DOWN ON YOUR SMILING FACE

FORGIVE BE FORGIVEN

SHARE THIS NEW BEGINNING

CAN YOU GET PAST YESTERDAYS HATE

NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES

PUT AWAY ALL LEARNED BIGOTRY

RELEARN HOW TO LIVE WITH DIGNITY

SHOW RESPECT FOR ALL THE LIVING

LEARN THE WORD EMPATHY

LOVE EACH OTHER AS GOD COMMANDS

COME INTO THE LIGHT

AWAY FROM DARKNESS WHERE IGNORANCE LIES

CLEAN THE COBWEBS FROM YOUR SOUL

SET YOUR SPIRIT FREE

THERE IS ENOUGH LOVE FOR EVERYBODY

YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN TO SHARE IT."
