The water of life pours over my soul
Flows on to soothe this burning heart
It fuels a passionate way with the word
As seen through these eyes and smile

From my soul a song flows out to you
More than words to echo these halls
For without heart and eyes and smile
The song would be but a hollow call

Searching for love and beauty in life
I stand here my essence laid bare
And hope you will sense what I share
Feel the flow of life's force and care

I sing out to your heart in rhyme
And hope you will take it inside
To see that this moment is yours
And feel each note of this prayer
