though the forest feels foreboding
and the path is strewn with fear
though you stumble in cold darkness
and the way is so unclear
find your courage
find your bearings
move ahead into the night
be rewarded for your daring
by the warmth of morning light
In the distance see it glowing
light the path and calm your mind
feeling humble in the starkness
nature's beauty unconfined
now you feel it
now you're living
breathing in the morning air
dawn has broken
birds are singing
celebrations everywhere
